The drag & drop characteristic is built into the Website Control Panel, so that you don’t need to set up any third party software package to employ it. It also works well on all popular Os’s, so all you need to do to make use of it is sign in to your File Manager.

The majority of File Managers include all of the activities that you can conduct with a file or directory on the top of the web page. We feel the latter is just not intuitive enough. Thanks to the File Manager, you can get all of the file managing choices whenever you right–click a file or directory. This option is also valid for a number of files/folders.

You can actually rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any file or directory you choose using a click of the mouse.

The File Manager is equipped with a built in archive/unarchive option that may help you upload enormous archives and extract them into your account in seconds. The moment compressing a file or folder, it’s possible to select the name of the archive that is to be created as well as its extension – .ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ. In addition, it’s possible to archive current folders or files with just a click of the mouse.

The archive/unarchive solution offered by the File Manager really helps to work with big files directly from your Website Control Panel.

The File Manager helps to edit your files directly on the server without the need to download, adjust after which re–upload them. You can revise your files directly on the Internet, applying the internal editors. CrownHost offers a code editor using syntax displaying for your .PHP or .JS files, a WYSIWYG editor for HTML files, and a regular text editor for more experienced customers.

You have access to every single file editor through the right–click context menus. All corrections produced to the files are demonstrated instantly online – it is possible to directly preview them within your Internet browser.

All the files in your hosting account are neatly sorted into directories. Every web host features its own primary folder, which employs the file structure which you have selected. Using this method, it is very easy to deal with all your hosts from one location without the probability of becoming lost or confused.

By standard, you’ll see all of the hosts indexed in a table and if you click once on a specific host, you will observe all of the sub–folders and files pertaining to it. By clicking two times, you are going to visit a web page which is focused entirely on that host alone. A further way to load the folder associated with a particular host and also to work with it solely, is to try using the drop–down menu near the top of the primary File Manager file table.

The CrownHost File Manager has been developed in such a way as to make you feel similarly to making use of the file explorer on your personal computer.

In addition, we have enclosed a collection of file management posts and how–to video clips so that you can fairly quickly learn how to work with the tool.

CrownHost’s File Manager can help you save a plenty of time whenever using multiple files. You are able to pick multiple files at a time and apply a desired activity for them like you do in your desktop machine or notebook. To pick random files simultaneously, simply click the Control key, and to select a number of adjacent files, use the Shift key. It is that easy.

After getting chosen the files, you can actually automatically transfer them to an additional spot using the drag–and–drop option. With the help of the right–click contextual menu and the buttons on top of the file table, you can apply a number of other activities – you’ll be able to copy, rename, delete, download and edit your files, change file permissions, and so on.

There’s one common approach to guard a folder using a password – by creating an .htaccess file. If, however, you aren’t technically experienced sufficiently, you will have difficulties executing it on your own. To make things straightforward, we’ve designed a convenient password protection user interface to the File Manager readily available inside the Website Control Panel.

To use the option, simply right–click on a folder and pick Password Protection. After that decide on the user name and the security password that you want to work with and press the button. That’s all. Now the particular directory is going to be hidden from the standard users and will be accessible just to approved account holders.
