The Activate Web Hosting File Manager

Posting files with an FTP tool is an obsolete and really insecure way of transferring files from your personal computer to a web server. That’s why, we have integrated drag’n’drop file upload support in the File Manager. Just drag the files that you want to publish from your computer into your web browser and they will begin to upload in your hosting account through a safe SSL connection.

You don’t have to install any extra computer software, web browser plug–ins or web apps. The drag–and–drop feature performs just as well on Windows, Linux or Mac.

The vast majority of File Managers include all the activities that one can execute within a file or directory at the top of the webpage. We think the latter is just not intuitive enough. With the File Manager, you have access to all of the file managing options at the time you right–click a file or directory. This option is also applicable for a group of files/folders.

You can actually rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete just about any file or folder you decide with merely a click of the mouse.

The File Manager is equipped with an inbuilt archive/unarchive option to help you to add large archives and extract them into your account in the blink of an eye. Once compressing a file or directory, it’s possible to decide on the name of the archive which will be created and its extension – .ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ. In addition, you are able to archive current folders or files with simply a click of the mouse.

The archive/unarchive option you can find at the File Manager permits you to make use of huge files directly from your Site Control Panel. You don’t need to use any third party software like an FTP client in an effort to upload a big file in your account or to download any kind of archive in your desktop.

The File Manager will allow you to alter your files on the web server and never have to download, change and after that re–upload them. You are able to change your files straight away online, employing the integrated editors. We provide a code editor equipped with syntax displaying for your .JS or .PHP files, a WYSIWYG editor for HTML files, along with a standard text editor for the more expert users.

You can access every file editor with the right–click contextual menus. All corrections made to the files are demonstrated automatically online – you are able to directly preview them in the web browser.

All of the files within your hosting account are sorted into folders. Each and every web host has its own primary directory, that follows the file structure you have defined. By doing this, it is an easy task to handle all of your current hosts from one location without probability of getting lost or confused.

By default, you’ll see each of the hosts mentioned in a table and when you click once over a given host, you will see the whole set of sub–folders and files related to it. By clicking on twice, you are going to go to a web page that’s focused on that host alone. An alternative way to load the folder pertaining to a specific host and to work with it solely, is by using the drop–down menu towards the top of the primary File Manager file table.

Dealing with all of your files is natural and very easy when using the Activate Web Hosting Site Control Panel. You’ll try a file management setting that’s not far from your desktop computer’s file explorer. You’ll be able to drag and drop files and deal with all of them with a right mouse–click. Thanks to the inbuilt review solution, you can view photos the same as they will show up online, and through the built–in file editors you could make adjustments in your files in real time.

If you want support handling your files, you are able to consult the massive array of posts and how–to instructional videos, that you can get with a mouse–click.

You’ll be able to make use of a great number of files at the same time employing the multi–selection capacity of the Activate Web Hosting File Manager. All you have to do is press the Control key and click on the files or directories you want to select. If you wish to choose a couple of files/folders in a row immediately, click on the first file/folder, hold down the Shift key after which pick the very last file or folder within the set.

For people with picked the required files/folders, you can either drag them to a specific location, or employ different actions to them when using the right–click context menu or the buttons near the top of the file table.

In order to password–secure a directory on your web site, you need to configure an .htaccess file by yourself. Expectedly, this can be time–consuming and sophisticated if you are not well–trained in hosting. When using the File Manager, you may create a password–secured folder and hide all its contents from the standard users with just a few mouse–clicks.

What you need to complete is right–click a directory, opt for Password Protection after which pick the Add option. And then just select a username as well as a password. No supplemental setup is necessary and there’s no need to manage an .htaccess file. Our platform will handle every little thing for you.
