A File Manager software tool is available in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name suggests, it's employed to control the files in an account and all File Managers support a range of basic capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Some Control Panels could provide more advanced features as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Despite the fact that files may be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is used much more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to handle your online presence in its entirety.
