A File Manager tool is found in all hosting Control Panels. As the name suggests, it's employed to command the files inside an account and all File Managers support a range of standard capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A few Control Panels can provide more complex features as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Despite the fact that files could be uploaded and downloaded through an FTP client, the File Manager is used way more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to handle your online presence in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's hard to use could make it more aggravating and tough for you to control the site content, specifically if you do not have previous experience.
