A File Manager software tool is present in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name implies, it is employed to manage the files inside an account and all File Managers support a number of basic functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A few Control Panels may offer more advanced capabilities also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files may be uploaded and downloaded via an FTP client, the File Manager is employed considerably more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it will be for you to control your online presence altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is not easy to use may make it more aggravating and challenging for you to handle the website content, specifically if you don't have previous experience.
