How can I manage my website files?

Home » Knowledge Base » Control Panel » File Manager » How can I manage my website files?

Whether you choose to use a free web hosting account or the more advanced and resourceful option of premium web hosting, at one point or another, you will have to manage your website files.

There are a few options for you to do that when using our proprietary web hosting control panel. You can either use our File Manager, or you can use a specialized software, called FTP client to achieve the results you are looking for.

 

Using the file manager

With our proprietary file manager, you can do all of the file operations that you might need to, including but not limited to:

  • Uploading Data
  • Downloading Data
  • Renaming Files and Folders
  • Moving Files and Folders
  • Creating files and Directories
  • Extracting Archives

Please note that you cannot upload files larger than 15MB or directories via the File Manager. If you would like to do that please consider using an FTP client.

 

Using an FTP Client

There are a number of free FTP Clients that we might consider as a good choice to start managing your website files with.
