The FingerTipHosting File Manager

Publishing files with an FTP client is an out–of–date and really unsafe way of transmitting data files from your desktop machine or laptop to a web server. For this reason, we have integrated drag–and–drop file publish support in the File Manager. Simply pull the data files that you need to upload from your desktop into your browser and they’ll start to upload in your web hosting account over a safe SSL connection.

You don’t have to set up any extra software pack, web browser plug–ins or applications. The drag & drop feature works equally well on Windows, Linux and Mac.

Due to the right–click menus we have included on the File Manager, you are able to manage all of your files incredibly easy. Simply click on a file or folder and through the panel which will appear, pick the action you want. It is possible to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any selected file. If you click a folder, furthermore, you will see the solution to make a new sub–folder or file inside.

When you select different files or directories, it’s possible to apply identical measures for all of them concurrently.

Compared with nearly all file management interfaces as well as FTP clients, the FingerTipHosting Web Hosting Control Panel boasts a solution to archive/unarchive files noticeably faster. It is easy–to–navigate. To get a directory shrunk into a lightweight size, just choose it and click on the Compress button. To unwrap the contents of an archived folder in your cloud hosting account, choose it and click on 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 easily alter your files instantly on the Internet using any of the included instruments. The text editor displays the files in a plain text file format, the code editor provides syntax highlighting for your personal .PHP or .JS files, and the WYSIWYG editor enables you to see all the edits when they show up online. Also, all changes you create and save can be demonstrated instantaneously on the world wide web, meaning you can review them in your web browser and return to make extra modifications, if you are not happy with the result.

You don’t have to download your files, to edit them in your PC and then to re–upload them into your cloud hosting account. Each of the editors are accessible via the buttons at the top of the file table or at the right–click contextual menus.

The File Manager shows all of the files and folders using a simple to implement alphabetical arrangement. The whole set of files associated with the various hosts are sorted inside separate folders which are titled after their particular domains, so it’s possible to effortlessly recognize them. This is really useful in maintaining a number of websites simultaneously. There is no possibility to get lost or to feel really bewildered among the great number of files and folders inside your website hosting account.

To access the files under a specific host, simply select it in the drop–down options menu near the top of the file table. Alternatively, you can double–click on its folder and you’ll be immediately brought to a table showing its files exclusively.
