A File Manager tool is present in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is used to manage the files inside an account and all File Managers support a variety of primary capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A number of Control Panels may provide you with more advanced functions also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files can be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is used way more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to manage your presence online altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is difficult to use may make it more annoying and difficult for you to handle the site content, especially if you do not have previous experience.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
The File Manager tool, which is an integral part of our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, shall give you full control over your content and will take away the need of employing third-party applications. If you would like to upload a file to your semi-dedicated server account, you will only have to drag-and-drop it, since the File Manager supports uploads, so you shall not need to use an FTP client anymore.

To make handling your content a whole lot easier, you'll be able to sort it in ascending or descending order by last modified date, name or size.
