The Hosting Smiles File Manager

The File Manager in your Web Control Panel boasts a quick, drag’n’drop functionality that will allow you to move data files between your computer and your web hosting profile without having to apply an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) tool. You can drag data files from your computer and drop them in your Web Control Panel with a click of the mouse through a protected SSL connection.

The drag’n’drop characteristic is built into the Web Control Panel, which means you do not need to mount any third–party software pack to use it. It also works well on all major Os’s, so all you need to do to make use of it is log into your File Manager.

Most File Managers specify all of the actions that you can carry out with a file or directory on the top of the web page. We think this is not user–friendly enough. With the File Manager, you have access to all file managing choices when you right–click a file or folder. This method is also valid for a number of files/folders.

It’s possible to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete every file or directory you decide on with only a mouse–click.

Compared to the vast majority of file management user interfaces and FTP clients, the Hosting Smiles Web Control Panel has an option to archive/unarchive files much more quickly. It is really easy–to–navigate. To have a folder reduced into a lightweight size, all you need to do is select it and click on the Compress button. To unwrap the belongings of an archived directory inside your account, choose it and then click the Extract button. The File Manager supports a wide range of file extensions, including .ZIP, .RAR and .TAR.GZ.

With the File Manager it is easy to edit your files directly on the Internet working with the included tools. The text editor reveals the files in a plain text format, the code editor features syntax displaying for your .PHP or .JS files, and the WYSIWYG editor allows you to see all the edits when they show up online. Also, all changes that you create and keep can be reflected immediately on the Internet, which means you can examine them in your web browser and return to make more modifications, if unhappy.

It is not necessary to download any files whatsoever, to modify them in your desktop and to re–upload them into your cloud hosting account. All of the editors are found via the buttons at the top of the file table or at the right–click contextual menus.

Each of the files within your website hosting account are neatly organized into directories. Each and every host features its own primary folder, which uses the file structure which you have pre–set. This way, it is really very easy to manage all of your hosts from a single place without chance of getting lost or confused.

By standard, you’ll see all of the hosts listed in a table and if you mouse–click once on a given host, you will observe the whole set of sub–folders and files related to it. By clicking on twice, you will visit a page that is centered on that host exclusively. A further way to open the folder related to a particular host and also to work with it solely, is using the drop–down menu towards the top of the primary File Manager file table.

Most web File Managers are sluggish and quite difficult to work with. They have limited functions and certainly are not really simple to use. We hope to improve that through the Hosting Smiles File Manager. It’s intended to be user–friendly and also to seem like something you you’re already familiar with – the File Manager on your PC.

All its functions, the drag & drop file upload solutions, the right–click context menus, the integrated file editors, etcetera exist for 1 purpose – to help make controlling your web site(s) less of a challenge.

Our File Manager will help you save lots of time whenever using multiple files. You can actually pick many different files at a time and apply a desired action to them precisely like you do with your own computer. To select arbitrary files at once, just keep pressed the Control key, and to select a collection of adjacent files, use the Shift key. It is that easy.

After you have selected the files, you can actually at once move them to an additional location thanks to the drag & drop option. By making use of the right–click contextual menu and also the buttons on top of the file table, you are able to use a myriad of other activities – you are able to copy, rename, delete, download and alter your files, transform file permissions, etcetera.

In order to password–secure a folder on your web site, you have got to set up an .htaccess file manually. Having said that, this could be time–demanding and complicated if you are not an expert in web hosting. Using our File Manager, you may create a password–secured directory and hide its items from the general public with simply a couple of mouse–clicks.

Everything you need to undertake is right–click a folder, pick Password Protection and choose the Add selection. Then just specify a username together with a pass word. No supplemental configuration is required and there is no need to handle an .htaccess file. Our platform will handle every thing on your behalf.
