A File Manager tool is found in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it's used to command the files inside an account and all File Managers support a variety of primary capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A number of Control Panels may offer more complex functions as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files can be uploaded and downloaded with an FTP client, the File Manager is employed far more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to manage your online presence in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's tough to use can make it more annoying and hard for you to control the website content, especially if you lack previous experience.
