A File Manager software tool is present in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is used to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a range of primary functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A number of Control Panels could provide you with more complex functions too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Despite the fact that files can be uploaded and downloaded through an FTP client, the File Manager is used considerably more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to manage your presence online in general. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is not easy to use can make it more aggravating and tough for you to manage the site content, specifically if you do not have previous experience.
