A File Manager software tool is present in all hosting Control Panels. As the name indicates, it's used to control the files in an account and all File Managers support a number of standard capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A few Control Panels can offer more complex features too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files could be uploaded and downloaded via an FTP client, the File Manager is used considerably more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to handle your presence online in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's hard to use could make it more frustrating and complicated for you to manage your Internet site content, specifically if you do not have previous experience.
