The SluHost File Manager

Moving files between your computer and any of your websites is right now quick and easy, because of the drag–and–drop functionality offered by the File Manager. You can easily pull files from your laptop or computer and drop them in your Web Hosting Control Panel through a secure SSL communication. That’s all. It usually takes a few seconds to publish a file and a bit longer for the larger files and directories.

There is no need to set up any third–party software package or web browser plug–ins. The drag’n’drop functionality included in the File Manager performs just as well on all major operating systems.

Due to the right–click menus we’ve integrated in the File Manager, you’ll be able to revise all of your files in a time and effort saving manner. Click on a file or directory and through the panel that will pop up, decide on the action that you like. You can rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete virtually any picked file. When you click a folder, you will also view the solution to establish a brand new sub–folder or file inside.

Whenever you choose different files or folders, you will be able to apply identical measures to all of them simultaneously.

Distinct from the vast majority of file management interfaces and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) clients, the SluHost Web Hosting Control Panel offers an option to archive/unarchive files more speedily. It is intuitive. To have a directory shrunk to a small size, just pick it and then click the Compress button. To open up the contents of an archived folder inside your website hosting account, pick it and then click the Extract button. The File Manager works with a variety of file extensions, just like .ZIP, .RAR and .TAR.GZ.

With the File Manager you can modify your files directly on the Internet when using many of the included software instruments. The text editor shows the files in a plain text file format, the code editor features syntax emphasizing for one’s .PHP or .JS files, and the WYSIWYG editor really helps you to see your modifications as they appear online. All the changes which you come up with and keep will be shown at once on the net, in order for you to review them in your own web browser and go back to generate further changes, if you are not happy with the result.

There is no need to download your files, to revise them on your machine and to re–upload them into your web hosting account. All of the editors are available using the buttons at the top of the file table or at the right–click context menus.

Each of the files in your cloud hosting account are sorted into directories. Every host features its own primary folder, which employs the file structure that you have defined. This way, it is an easy task to manage all of your hosts from one location without any chance of getting lost or confused.

By standard, you’ll see each of the hosts conveniently indexed in a table and if you click once over a specific host, you will see the whole set of sub–folders and files pertaining to it. By clicking on twice, you will go to a webpage that is dedicated to that host alone. Another way to open the folder associated with a specific host and then to use it solely, is by using the drop–down menu near the top of the primary File Manager file table.

Making use of all of your files is natural and simple while using the SluHost Web Hosting Control Panel. You are going to have a file control environment that is not far from your personal computer’s file explorer. You’ll be able to drag and drop files and control all of them with a right click of the mouse. Thanks to the inbuilt preview option, you will see pics just like they will show up on the Internet, and via the built in file editors you can create changes in your files instantly.

If you want assistance controlling your files, it is possible to make reference to the massive selection of articles and how–to instructional videos, which you can get using a click of the mouse.

SluHost’s File Manager can save you lots of time when making use of numerous files. You can select multiple files at the same time and apply a pre–selected action to them exactly like you do on your home PC. To select random files at once, just click the Control key, and to pick a collection of adjoining files, press the Shift key. It is that straightforward.

Once you’ve chosen the files, you can automatically move them to another location when using the drag–and–drop option. With the help of the right–click contextual menu as well as the buttons on top of the file table, you are able to apply a number of other actions – you’ll be able to copy, rename, delete, download and edit your files, adjust file permissions, and so on.

If you want to password–protect a folder within your site, you will need to configure an .htaccess file by hand. To no surprise, this could be time–absorbing and complicated if you aren’t well–trained in web hosting. With the File Manager, you can make a password–secured folder and hide its contents from any users with only a couple of mouse–clicks.

Everything you should complete is right–click a directory, pick out Password Protection and pick the Add option. Then just indicate a username along with a security password. No extra setup is necessary and there’s no reason to deal with an .htaccess file. Our platform will handle everything for you.
