The PCWEB Hosting File Manager
Forget about FTP clients using the File Manager
Used as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software substitutes, web–based file management tools have always been slow and poor in capabilities. Nonetheless, using the File Manager built in the PCWEB Hosting Site Control Panel, you will not only have a quick, responsive and user–friendly file administration software, but also a tool that will make a third–party FTP software unneeded. Check out a few of the functions that we have included in our File Manager.
Drag ’n’ drop file uploads
The most effective method to publish files
Adding files with an FTP tool is an out–of–date and quite an insecure way of moving files from your PC to a server. By reason of this, we have integrated drag & drop file upload support in the File Manager. Just pull the data files that you want to add from your desktop into your Internet browser and they’ll begin to publish in your hosting profile over a risk–free SSL communication.
You do not have to deploy any extra software package, web browser extensions or apps. The drag–and–drop function operates just as well on Windows, Linux or Mac.
Right–click context menus
Manage all files with just a click of the mouse
The majority of File Managers include all of the activities which you can perform on a file or directory at the top of the page. We think the latter is just not intuitive enough. Thanks to the File Manager, you can access all file control options at the time you right–click a file or directory. This option is also applicable for many different files/folders.
It is easy to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete every file or folder you decide on with just a mouse–click.
Archive/Unarchive files
Deal with massive files easily
On account of the internal archive/unarchive solution, the File Manager allows you to make use of enormous files with no need to use FTP. You are able to pack a folder to a small size by simply clicking on the Compress button or access the items in an archived directory using the Extract button. Whenever compressing a folder as well as a variety of files, you can also choose the archive extension (.ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ) in addition to the name of one’s archive file.
Integrated file editors
No third–party software packages are necessary
We’ve incorporated a collection of file editors in the Site Control Panel so you can create easy and quick corrections to your files without having to employ third party software. Within the File Manager you will find a WYSIWYG editor that will help you check all the current changes which you generate right away, a code editor that has syntax displaying for one’s .PHP or .JS files, and a plain text editor for more competent users. All the changes that you make and keep will be demonstrated immediately on the Internet.
You have access to the file editors when using the buttons near the top of the file table or by right–clicking a certain file/folder.
