A File Manager software tool is available in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name indicates, it is employed to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a variety of basic 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. Though files can be uploaded and downloaded with 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 manage your online presence as a whole. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's not easy to use could make it more irritating and complicated for you to handle your site content, especially if you do not have previous experience.
