File Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our advanced, albeit intuitive File Manager provides you with complete control over your content and you won't have any issues managing the files and folders that you create or upload to your semi-dedicated server account, even though you may have never used an Internet hosting service before. The options it is giving you are no more than several clicks away, even the more advanced ones such as creating a password-protected folder, setting up or unpacking an archive, modifying UNIX permissions or opening a file inside a plain text or an HTML editor. Using right-click context menus, you'll feel just as if you’re working on your desktop computer. In addition, the File Manager supports dragging-and-dropping of files and entire folders - both inside the account and from your PC. With the latter alternative, you are able to upload content directly, which eliminates the need for any FTP client.
