The Click2Connect File Manager

Publishing data files with an FTP tool is an outdated and really insecure way of switching data files from your notebook or computer to a web server. This is why, we have integrated drag & drop file publish support in the File Manager. Simply drag the data files that you need to add from your PC into your browser and they’ll start to upload in your web hosting profile over a secure SSL connection.

There is no need to deploy any extra software, browser add–ons or web apps. The drag–and–drop feature works just as well on Windows, Mac or Linux.

We have always given our best to make the File Manager as user–friendly as it can be, so it’s possible to produce changes to your files. Aside from the conventional command bar near the top of the page, we have now in addition designed right–click context menus with the simple file control possibilities. Click on a file or folder and choose the activity you’d like to have through the collection which will show up.

You’ll be able to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any file or folder you choose with a mouse–click. In the event you click a directory, you can also generate a completely new directory or file in it.

The right–click choice is also available whenever you pick numerous files or folders at the same time.

Thanks to the integrated archive/unarchive solution, the File Manager really helps to handle big files with no need to use FTP. You can easily shrink a folder to a compact size by simply clicking on the Compress button or gain access to the contents of an archived folder by using the Extract button. When compressing a folder as well as a number of files, you will be able to decide on the archive extension (.ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ) as well as the name of the archive file.

We’ve integrated a pair of file editors inside the Hosting Control Panel to guide you to produce quick and simple changes to your files without the need to implement third party applications. Within the File Manager you’ll find a WYSIWYG editor that will help you check all the recent changes that you create instantly, a code editor that features syntax highlighting for your .JS or .PHP files, together with a plain text editor for more expert users. All the changes which you come up with and keep will be shown promptly online.

You have access to the file editors using the buttons near the top of the file table or by right–clicking a selected file/folder.

The File Manager shows all files and directories in a clear to see alphabetical arrangement. Each of the files pertaining to the different hosts are organized into separate folders that are referred to as after their particular domains, allowing you to conveniently recognize them. This is actually useful when you are maintaining a variety of sites simultaneously. There isn’t any possibility to stray or to feel baffled among the multitude of data files and folders in your website hosting account.

To access the files with a given host, just pick it in the drop–down options menu at the top of the file table. Alternatively, you can easily double–click on its folder and you will be right away taken up to a table listing its files exclusively.
