The Multimedia Provider File Manager

The File Manager in your Web Site Control Panel includes a fast, drag–and–drop capability that will allow you to transfer data files between your personal computer and your website hosting profile with no need to employ an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client. You can pull data files from your personal computer and drop them in your Web Site Control Panel with a click of the mouse through a secure SSL connection.

The drag–and–drop function is integrated into the Web Site Control Panel, so that you will not need to install any third party software pack to work with it. It will also work on all popular Operating Systems, so all you have to do to apply it is sign in to your File Manager.

We have always given our best to make the File Manager as intuitive as possible, so it is possible to produce modifications to your files. In addition to the standard control bar towards the top of the web page, we have also added right–click context menus with all the current basic file management options. Click on a file or folder and select the actions which you want from the collection that will appear.

You can actually rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any file or directory you choose with merely a mouse–click. When you click a folder, you can also establish a different directory or file in it.

The right–click choice is conveniently obtainable whenever you pick different files or folders at the same time.

On account of the internal archive/unarchive option, the File Manager helps you to manage large files and not having to use FTP. It’s easy to reduce the size of a directory into a lightweight size by clicking on the Compress button or access the belongings in an archived folder through the Extract button. When compressing a directory as well as multiple files, it is also possible to select the archive extension (.ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ) and then the name of one’s archive file.

From the File Manager you can alter your files instantly on the Internet by making use of some of the integrated tools. The text editor shows the files in a plain text format, the code editor provides syntax accentuating for your personal .PHP or .JS files, and then the WYSIWYG editor helps to preview your changes when they show up online. Any changes which you generate and keep are going to be demonstrated quickly on the Internet, so that you can review them with your browser and go back to make more edits, if not satisfied.

It is not necessary to download your files, to revise them through your desktop and then to re–upload them into your account. All of the editors are accessible via the buttons at the top of the file table or from the right–click context menus.

All of the files within your web hosting account are neatly arranged into directories. Every single host does have its primary folder, that uses the file hierarchy you have selected. By doing this, it is very easy to control all of your current hosts from one place without any chance of getting lost or puzzled.

By standard, you will notice all the hosts conveniently contained in a table and when you click once on a specific host, you’ll see the whole set of sub–folders and files related to it. By clicking two times, you are going to visit a page which is focused entirely on that host only. One other way to open the folder associated with a given host and to use it exclusively, is using the drop–down menu near the top of the primary File Manager file table.
