A File Manager software tool is available in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is used to manage the files inside an account and all File Managers support a number of basic features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels could 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 through an FTP client, the File Manager is employed considerably more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to control your online presence altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is not easy to use could make it more aggravating and tough for you to handle your site content, particularly if you lack previous experience.
