A File Manager software tool is present in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name indicates, it's employed to control the files inside an account and all File Managers support a number of primary functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels may offer more advanced functions too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Even though files can be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is employed far more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to manage your online presence altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is tough to use may make it more aggravating and complicated for you to manage the site content, particularly if you do not have previous experience.
