File Manager
Discover more about the functions of a File Manager within a web hosting control panel and why you will need one.
All web hosting accounts are managed using a Control Panel and no matter the type of the latter, there is always a File Manager tool, which lets you look into the files which you have uploaded in the hosting account and to complete simple operations with them, including moving, copying or deleting. With respect to the particular tool, there can be more complex features too, like management of permissions and archives. Many Control Panels are easier to work with compared to others and so are their File Manager sections. Since this is the primary tool that you will use to manage your files, it's important to check in advance what options it includes and if it shall appeal to you, because a hard-to-use File Manager may be a burden and will make managing your web presence harder.

What is more, the folder structure will be preserved, so files from separate folders shall not get mixed. You could also use right-click context menus and access various features. You shall be able to create and extract archives, to set up password-protected areas and more. If you'd like to modify files, you may do that through a number of different editors - a plain text editor, a code editor and a WYSIWYG editor, so you could choose the one which you need and feel most comfortable working with.
