A File Manager software tool is present in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name indicates, it's employed to control the files inside an account and all File Managers support a variety of standard features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Some Control Panels can provide you with more advanced functions also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Despite the fact that files could be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is employed way more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it will be for you to control your online presence in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's difficult to use could make it more aggravating and difficult for you to control your Internet site content, especially if you lack previous experience.
