The Web Planet File Manager
A File Manager jam–packed with each of the resources that you might want
Used as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software alternatives, web file managers have always been sluggish and poor in features. Nevertheless, when using the File Manager built in the Web Planet Hosting Control Panel, you won’t just have a blazingly fast, intuitive and easy–to–use file supervision software, but also a software instrument that will make a third party FTP application unnecessary. Check out several of the functions that we have built into our File Manager.
Drag–and–drop file uploads
Add files effortlessly
Transferring data files between your PC and any of your webpages is right now quick and easy, because of the drag & drop feature offered by the File Manager. You could drag files from your personal computer and drop them in the Hosting Control Panel via secure SSL communication. That’s it. It takes just a few seconds to publish a data file and a bit longer for the bigger data files and folders.
You don’t have to deploy any third–party software package or web browser plugins. The drag’n’drop feature contained in the File Manager operates equally well on all main OS’s.
Right–click context menus
Handle all files with merely a mouse–click
Most File Managers specify all the activities that you can execute with a file or directory at the top of the page. We feel that this isn’t properly arranged. Thanks to the File Manager, you can access all file administration choices whenever you right–click a file or folder. This option is likewise applicable for a lot of files/folders.
It is easy to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete every file or directory you decide on with simply a click of the mouse.
Archive/Unarchive files
Work with enormous files effectively
Due to the integrated archive/unarchive solution, the File Manager will allow you to work with huge files without having to use FTP. It’s possible to shrink a folder to a compact size by clicking on the Compress button or gain access to the items in an archived folder by using the Extract button. Whenever compressing a folder as well as a range of files, you can also select the archive extension (.ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ) in addition to the name of one’s archive file.
Online file editors
Change files straight from your Hosting Control Panel
From your File Manager you’ll be able to alter your files directly online by making use of the integrated instruments. The text editor displays the files with a plain text format, the code editor features syntax highlighting for your .PHP or .JS files, and then the WYSIWYG editor makes it possible for you to preview your modifications as they show up online. Any changes you create and keep are going to be reflected straight away on the net, which means you can preview them in your browser and return to generate further edits, in case you are not happy with the result.
It is not necessary to download any files, to modify them in your personal computer and then to re–upload them back to your website hosting account. All the editors are found through the buttons near the top of the file table or from your right–click contextual menus.
A logical folder structure
Your files structured with a convenient–to–use manner
All of the files inside your website hosting account are separated into folders. Each web host has its own main folder, that follows the file hierarchy that you’ve pre–set. Using this method, it is really simple to maintain all of your current hosts in one location without risk of getting lost or confused.
By default, you will see all the hosts conveniently mentioned in a table and if you mouse–click once on a given host, you’ll see the whole set of sub–folders and files associated with it. By clicking two times, you are going to go to a webpage that’s centered on that host only. One other way to open the folder related to a particular host and also to work with it solely, is by using the drop–down menu towards the top of the primary File Manager file table.
A user–friendly interface
A File Manager developed for regular people
The vast majority of web File Managers are sluggish and very difficult to make use of. They give you constrained options and certainly are not really straightforward. We strive to change that with the Web Planet File Manager. It is created to be practical and also to appear to be a product you know – the File Manager on your computer.
All of its capabilities, the drag & drop file upload options, the right–click context menus, the internal file editors, etcetera are there for 1 purpose – to make taking care of your site(s) more convenient.
Work with multiple files
Change different files all at once
With the Web Planet File Manager, you’ll be able to pick out a wide range of files or directories precisely like you do on your notebook or computer. Simply keep pressed the Control (Command for Apple’s Mac OS) key and click on the wanted files/folders. If you would like, to select a lot of files/folders at once, just click one file/folder, hold down the Shift key and click on any file or folder.
Once you’ve chosen all of the files that you need, it’s possible to drag them into a specified location, or use the right–click context menu to see a listing of the accessible features.
Quick & simple password protection options
The simplest way to secure your data
To password–secure a folder in your website, you need to configure an .htaccess file by yourself. However, this is time–demanding and complex if you are not a professional in Linux web hosting. With our File Manager, you may create a password–secured directory and conceal all of its contents from any users with just several clicks.
