The CharlotteWebHosting.net File Manager
Online file management performed properly
Used as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software substitutes, online file managers have always been sluggish and poorly featured. However, using the File Manager built in the CharlotteWebHosting.net Web Site Control Panel, you will not only have a quick, intuitive and easy–to–work–with file management interface, but also a tool that will make an external FTP application unneeded. Consider a few of the features that we have built into our File Manager.
Drag ’n’ drop file upload options
Transfer files to your web pages with ease
The File Manager in your Web Site Control Panel boasts a fast, drag–and–drop feature that can help you move files between your personal computer and your web hosting account with no need to apply an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) tool. You can drag files from your personal computer and drop them in your Web Site Control Panel with a mouse–click by using a safe SSL connection.
The drag’n’drop characteristic is incorporated into the Web Site Control Panel, so you don’t have to set up any third–party software package to take full advantage of it. It also works well on all leading Operating Systems, so all you should do to use it is sign in to your File Manager.
Right–click context menus
Handle all files with merely a mouse–click
The vast majority of File Managers include all of the activities you can conduct on a file or directory at the top of the webpage. We think the latter is just not user–friendly enough. Thanks to the File Manager, you can access all of the file administration options any time you right–click a file or folder. This option is likewise applicable for a group of files/folders.
It is possible to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete just about any file or folder you decide on with a click of the mouse.
Archive/Unarchive files
Deal with substantial files easily
Because of the built in archive/unarchive option, the File Manager will allow you to manage big files without having to use FTP. It’s possible to shrink a folder into a small size by clicking on the Compress button or gain access to the contents of an archived directory using the Extract button. Whenever compressing a directory as well as a variety of files, it is also possible to select the archive extension (.ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ) and also the name of one’s archive file.
Online file editors
Edit files directly from your Web Site Control Panel
Through the File Manager you can revise your files directly online applying the built in software tools. The text editor displays the files in a plain text formatting, the code editor provides syntax accentuating for your .PHP or .JS files, and then the WYSIWYG editor helps to see your modifications when they show up live. Any changes that you create and save will be reflected quickly online, which enables you to preview them with your web browser and get back to generate further changes, if unhappy.
It is not necessary to download any files, to edit them through your machine and to re–upload them back in your cloud hosting account. All the editors are accessible through the buttons near the top of the file table or through the right–click context menus.
A logical folder structure
Your files sorted in a user–friendly way
The File Manager shows all of the files and folders in an easy–to–understand alphabetical order. The whole set of files related to the different hosts are structured into distinct directories that are titled following their particular domains, in order for you to effectively acknowledge them. This is really useful in managing a range of websites concurrently. There is no chance to get lost or to feel confused amongst the many data files and folders inside your web hosting account.
To access the files with a host, just choose it from the drop–down options menu at the top of the file table. Additionally, you can easily double–click on its folder and you will be promptly sent to a table showing its files exclusively.
A user–friendly interface
A File Manager intended for real people
Dealing with your files is natural and quick using the CharlotteWebHosting.net Web Site Control Panel. You’ll get a file management atmosphere which is very close to your personal computer’s file explorer. You are able to drag & drop files and take care of them with a right mouse–click. Using the built–in preview option, you can view photos just like they will appear on the web, and through the included file editors you can make corrections for your files instantly.
If you want guidance managing your files, you are able to refer to the massive assortment of articles and how–to video lessons, which you can access using a mouse–click.
Work with multiple files
Change a variety of files at the same time
You can easily work with a lot of files at the same time when using the multi–selection capability of the CharlotteWebHosting.net File Manager. All you need to do is hold down the Control key and click on the files or directories which you want to choose. Should you wish to select a collection of files/folders in a row immediately, pick the first file/folder, press the Shift key and afterwards click on the final file or folder within the collection.
If you have selected the wanted files/folders, you can drag them to a different spot, or apply diverse activities to them when using the right–click context menu or maybe the buttons near the top of the file table.
1–click password protection options
The easiest way to protect your information
Password protection is the foremost option to confine the access to a certain component of your website you do not need to be visible to every one. For instance, this could be a safe and secure members’ area or, perhaps an area with copyrighted information that you would like just certain people to reach.
Through the File Manager you can password–guard your web site or perhaps a selected folder inside with only a click of the mouse. Simply right–click a directory, pick Password Protection and specify the login name and then password. There is no need to deal with .htaccess files or to create any extra adjustments. From now on, only the visitors that have your user name and password will access your website.
