The opnux File Manager

The File Manager in your Control Panel includes a swift, drag–and–drop function that can help you move files between your computer and your web hosting account without the need to use an FTP tool. You can pull files from your PC and drop them in your Control Panel with a click of the mouse by using a risk–free SSL connection.

The vast majority of File Managers include all of the actions that you can execute over a file or directory on the top of the web page. We feel this isn’t user–friendly enough. Thanks to the File Manager, you can get all file control options at the time you right–click a file or folder. This option is likewise applicable for multiple files/folders.

The File Manager comes with an internal archive/unarchive solution that can help you upload large archives and then extract them into your account in the blink of an eye.

We have included a couple of file editors within the Control Panel to help you out create quick and easy changes in your files and never have to make use of third–party software packages. In the File Manager you’ll find a WYSIWYG editor that will help you keep an eye on all the recent changes that you make live, a code editor that features syntax highlighting for your .PHP or .JS files, as well as a plain text editor for more experienced customers. All the changes which you generate and save are going to be shown quickly on the web.

You can access the file editors using the buttons near the top of the file table and / or by right–clicking a certain file/folder.

If you are handling several web sites concurrently, it is vital that you have everything organized. With other File Managers, updating several web sites in the same hosting account can be very difficult. With the File Manager, you’ll see that it is in fact rather easy. Each site has its own directory, which you can at once recognize, including all of the files pertaining to the specified site are placed there.

And then to make everything so much easier, you will find there’s a drop–down menu from which it’s easy to select on which web host you wish to work in the File Manager. Our intelligent system will take you there within seconds.

Password protection is the best option to limit the access to a particular element of your site you don’t need to be noticeable to everyone. For instance, this could be a safe members’ place or a location with copyrighted information that you like exclusively certain individuals to access.

From your File Manager you’re able to password–protect your website or perhaps a certain folder inside it with merely a mouse–click.
