All web hosting accounts are handled using a CP and no matter the type of the latter, you can always find a File Manager tool, which lets you browse the files that you have uploaded inside the Internet hosting account and to perform basic operations with them, including moving, copying or deleting. Based on the specific tool, there can be more advanced functions as well, like management of permissions and archives. Several Control Panels are simpler to use compared to others and so are their File Manager sections. Since this is the primary tool you will use to control your files, it is essential to check in advance what options it comes with and if it will suit your needs, because a hard-to-use File Manager can be a burden and will make managing your online presence harder.
