The WebDaytonaHosting File Manager

Publishing data files with an FTP tool is an obsolete and quite an insecure way of transmitting data files from your PC to a hosting server. By reason of this, we have included drag–and–drop data file publish support in the File Manager. Just drag the files that you need to upload from your desktop computer into your Internet browser and they will start to publish in your hosting account through a protected SSL connection.

You do not have to deploy any additional software package, browser extensions or programs. The drag & drop capability works just as well on Windows, Mac and Linux.

A large number of File Managers specify all of the actions which you can perform over a file or folder at the top of the webpage. We believe the latter is just not intuitive enough. With the File Manager, you can get all of the file managing choices at the time you right–click a file or directory. This approach is likewise applicable for multiple files/folders.

It’s possible to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any file or folder you select with just a mouse–click.

We’ve incorporated a collection of file editors within the Web Hosting Control Panel so that you can produce quick and simple improvements to your files and never have to implement third party applications.

All the changes that you come up with and keep will be reflected automatically on the Internet.

You have access to the file editors making use of the buttons at the top of the file table and also by right–clicking a particular file/folder.

The File Manager displays all of the files and folders using a clear to understand alphabetical order. The whole set of files related to the various hosts are sorted into separate directories that are titled after their individual domain names, in order for you to immediately acknowledge them. This is definitely useful when you are managing a great number of websites at the same time. There is no opportunity to stray or to feel really confused among the large number of data files and directories in your website hosting account.

To gain access to the files under a given host, just pick it in the drop–down menu near the top of the file table. Additionally, you can double–click on its folder and you are automatically transported to a table listing its files only.

There’s a single widespread technique to safeguard a directory with a security password – by making an .htaccess file. In case, however, you are not technologically experienced enough, you’ll have issues carrying it out on your own. For making things easy, we have included an intuitive password protection interface to the File Manager obtainable within the Web Hosting Control Panel.
