The Web Host Systems File Manager

Importing data files with an FTP client is an out–of–date and really insecure way for shifting data files from your laptop or computer to a hosting server. Because of this, we have included drag’n’drop file upload support in the File Manager. Simply drag the data files that you want to upload from your desktop computer into your web browser and they will start to upload in your website hosting account over a safe SSL communication.

You do not have to set up any extra software, browser extensions or programs. The drag & drop function operates just as well on Windows, Linux and Mac.

We have aimed to make your File Manager as intuitive as feasible, so you’ll be able to produce changes for your files. Aside from the regular control bar towards the top of the page, we have now also added right–click contextual menus with all the current general file control options. Simply click on a file or folder and select the activity that you’d like from the list which will turn up.

It is easy to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any file or folder you choose with a mouse–click. Should you click a folder, you can also establish a new directory or file in it.

The right–click option is also available whenever you choose numerous files or folders at the same time.

Unlike the majority of file management user interfaces and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) clients, the Web Host Systems Web Site Control Panel features an option to archive/unarchive files considerably quicker. It is really easy to use. To get a folder reduced to a lightweight size, all you need to do is select it and click on the Compress button. To open the belongings of an archived directory inside your website hosting account, choose it and then click the Extract button. The File Manager uses several different file extensions, just like .ZIP, .RAR and .TAR.GZ.

We’ve incorporated a group of file editors inside the Web Site Control Panel so you’re able to produce quick and simple adjusts in your files and never have to employ any third party software. With the File Manager you will find a WYSIWYG editor that will help monitor all the recent changes which you generate right away, a code editor which includes syntax accentuating for your .JS or .PHP files, in addition to a plain text editor for more expert users. Any changes you come up with and save can be reflected automatically online.

You can access the file editors when using the buttons near the top of the file table or by right–clicking a particular file/folder.

All of the files within your web hosting account are structured into directories. Each and every host features its own main directory, which follows the file structure which you have pre–set. In this way, it is very easy to handle all your hosts in one location without any chance of getting lost or confused.

By default, you will see all the hosts conveniently listed in a table and when you click once on a specific host, you will see each of the sub–folders and files pertaining to it. By clicking twice, you will go to a web page that is centered on that host only. An alternative way to open the folder associated with a certain host and also to work with it exclusively, is to try using the drop–down menu towards the top of the main File Manager file table.

The vast majority of online File Managers are slow and very difficult to make use of. They have modest functions and generally aren’t really straightforward.

If you want to password–protect a folder in your site, you will have to configure an .htaccess file by yourself.
