The Server Premier File Manager

Importing files with an FTP tool is an outdated and really unsafe way for moving data files from your desktop computer or laptop to a hosting server. This is why, we have included drag & drop file publish support in the File Manager. Just pull the files that you need to upload from your desktop computer into your browser and they’ll start to publish in your web hosting profile over a safe SSL communication.

You don’t need to deploy any extra computer software, web browser extensions or programs. The drag & drop feature works equally well on Windows, Mac or Linux.

Most File Managers include all the actions you can carry out with a file or folder at the top of the web page. We think the latter is not user–friendly enough. Using the File Manager, you have access to all file management choices when you right–click a file or directory. This option is also applicable for many different files/folders.

It is easy to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any file or directory you select with only a mouse–click.

With the File Manager you’ll be able to revise your files directly on the Internet working with the inbuilt instruments. The text editor reveals the files in a plain text format, the code editor provides syntax highlighting for your personal .PHP or .JS files, and the WYSIWYG editor really helps you to see your modifications when they appear live. Furthermore, all changes which you come up with and save will be displayed right away on the net, which means you can examine them in your own browser and return to make extra modifications, in case you are not satisfied with the result.

You don’t have to download any files, to edit them with your PC and to re–upload them back to your web hosting account. Each of the editors are found through the buttons near the top of the file table or through the right–click context menus.

The File Manager displays all of the files and folders in a clear to see alphabetical arrangement. The whole set of files related to the many hosts are organized within distinct directories that are referred to as after their respective domains, so you can efficiently acknowledge them. This is definitely useful in maintaining several websites simultaneously. There isn’t any possibility to stray or to feel really bewildered among the many files and directories in your account.

To get into the files with a specific host, just select it in the drop–down options menu at the top of the file table. Additionally, it’s possible to double–click on its folder and you’ll be quickly taken up to a table showing its files only.

There’s a single widespread route to shield a folder using a pass word – by making an .htaccess file.

To generate things straightforward, we have integrated a user–friendly password protection user interface to the File Manager obtainable in the Control Panel.
