Applied as FTP client alternatives, web–based file management tools have always been sluggish and poorly featured. However, when using the File Manager included in the OVG HOST Site Control Panel, you won’t just have a fast, responsive and time and effort saving file administration software, but also a software tool that will make an external FTP software unnecessary. Take a look at several of the options that we have built–into our File Manager.
Drag–and–drop file uploads
Publish data files effortlessly
Transferring data files between your desktop machine and any of your webpages is now quick and simple, thanks to the drag & drop functionality available from the File Manager. You can easily pull data files from your desktop machine or notebook and drop them in the Site Control Panel over a secure SSL communication. That’s all. It takes seconds to upload a data file and a bit longer for any larger data files and directories.
There is no need to set up any third party application or browser plug–ins. The drag–and–drop capability included in the File Manager works just as well on all popular operating systems.
Right–click context menus
Handle all files with only a mouse–click
Most File Managers list all of the activities which you can conduct within a file or directory on the top of the page. We feel that the latter is not properly arranged. Using the File Manager, you can get all file managing options at the time you right–click a file or directory. This method is likewise applicable for a group of files/folders.
It’s possible to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete just about any file or folder you decide using a mouse–click.
Archive/Unarchive files
Manage archives with simply a click
The File Manager offers a built in archive/unarchive solution to help you to submit big archives and then extract them into your website hosting account within seconds. When compressing a file or folder, you’ll be able to select the title of the archive which is to be created along with its extension – .ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ. Furthermore, it’s possible to compress already present files or folders with merely a click of the mouse.
The archive/unarchive solution offered by the File Manager enables you to use large files directly from your Site Control Panel. You don’t have to apply any third–party software such as an FTP client so as to upload a substantial file onto your account or to download any kind of archive on your desktop.
Online file editors
Revise files straight from your Site Control Panel
With the File Manager you can modify your files instantly online by making use of some of the inbuilt tools. The text editor shows the files in a plain text format, the code editor provides syntax displaying for one’s .PHP or .JS files, and then the WYSIWYG editor helps to view your edits as they appear online. All the changes that you come up with and keep will be reflected straight away on the world wide web, so it’s possible to examine them with your browser and go back to make more edits, in case you are not happy with the result.
It is not necessary to download any files, to change them through your desktop and to re–upload them back into your web hosting account. All of the editors are available through the buttons at the top of the file table or from the right–click context menus.
A logical folder structure
Your files sorted out in a simple to use way
When you’re managing a bunch of sites simultaneously, it is important to have everything sorted. With many other File Managers, revising several sites inside the exact same web hosting account can be extremely challenging. With our File Manager, you’ll find that it’s in fact quite easy. Each site features its own folder, that you can at once recognize, and all of the files related to the specific site are situated there.
And to make things even easier, we have a drop–down menu from where it’s easy to select on exactly which host you intend to work within the File Manager. Our clever system will lead you there in no time.
A user–friendly interface
A File Manager made especially for regular people
The majority of online File Managers are sluggish and difficult to make use of. They give constrained functions and aren’t really convenient–to–use. We seek to change that through the OVG HOST File Manager. It was designed to be practical and to appear to be a product you you are already familiar with – the File Manager on your personal computer.
All its features, the drag’n’drop file upload solutions, the right–click context menus, the built–in file editors, etcetera exist for 1 reason – to help make maintaining your site(s) more convenient.
Work with multiple files
Modify various files all at once
With the OVG HOST File Manager, it’s possible to select many files or folders exactly like you do notebook or desktop computer. Just keep pressed the Control (Command for Mac OS) key and click on the required files/folders. In case you would like, to pick lots of files/folders at once, click one file/folder, hold down the Shift key and then click any file or folder.
Once you’ve picked all of the files that you require, you are able to drag them to a pre–selected location, or take advantage of the right–click contextual menu to find out a summary of the available actions.
Quick & simple password protection options
The easiest method to take care of your information
There is a single widespread way for you to protect a folder using a security password – by generating an .htaccess file. If, however, you’re not technically skilled enough, you’ll have trouble executing it all on your own. For making things straightforward, we’ve added an intuitive password protection user interface to the File Manager readily available within the Site Control Panel.
To employ this option, simply right–click on a folder and select Password Protection. After that choose the user name as well as the security password that you would like to employ and press the button. That’s it. Now the selected directory is going to be concealed from the standard users and will also be accessible to previously approved account holders.
