A File Manager tool is available in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name indicates, it's used to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a range of basic features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A few Control Panels can provide you with more complex capabilities also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Despite the fact that 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 will be for you to control your online presence in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's difficult to use may make it more annoying and hard for you to manage the site content, specifically if you don't have previous experience.
