The MysticHost File Manager

The File Manager in your Web Hosting Control Panel features a fast, drag’n’drop function that will help you transfer data files between your PC and your web hosting account without needing to use an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client. You can drag files from your PC and drop them in your Web Hosting Control Panel with a click of the mouse through a risk–free SSL connection.

The drag–and–drop characteristic is included in the Web Hosting Control Panel, so you don’t have to deploy any third party computer software to apply it. It also works well on all leading Operating Systems, so all you have to do to apply it is sign in to your File Manager.

A large number of File Managers list all of the activities which you can perform within a file or folder on the top of the webpage. We believe that this is just not intuitive enough. Using the File Manager, you have access to all of the file administration choices at the time you right–click a file or directory. This option is likewise applicable for numerous files/folders.

It is possible to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete every file or folder you select with only a mouse–click.

The File Manager is equipped with an inbuilt archive/unarchive option that may help you add enormous archives and extract them inside your hosting account in seconds. The moment compressing a file or directory, you are able to decide on the title for the archive that will be created as well as its extension – .ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ. At the same time, you will be able to compress active files or folders with simply a click of the mouse.

The archive/unarchive alternative available at the File Manager will let you work with large files directly from your Web Hosting Control Panel. No need to apply any third–party software for example an FTP client in an effort to upload a big file to your hosting account or to download an archive on your desktop.

From the File Manager you can easily alter your files instantly online making use of many of the built–in software tools. The text editor reveals the files with a plain text formatting, the code editor features syntax highlighting for your personal .PHP or .JS files, and then the WYSIWYG editor really helps you to see all the edits while they appear live. Furthermore, all changes which you generate and save are going to be reflected straight away on the Internet, which means you can preview them with your Internet browser and get back to generate further modifications, if you are not happy with the result.

You do not have to download any files whatsoever, to modify them through your PC and to re–upload them back in your website hosting account. All the editors are available using the buttons at the top of the file table or from the right–click contextual menus.

The File Manager lists all files and directories using a simple to comprehend alphabetical order. The whole set of files associated with the many hosts are structured within separate directories which are referred to as following their individual domain names, meaning you can conveniently recognize them. This is definitely useful in maintaining a lot of sites at the same time. There is no chance to get lost or to feel really confused amidst the many files and directories within your cloud hosting account.

To reach the files with a given host, simply choose it within the drop–down options menu at the top of the file table. Additionally, you’ll be able to double–click on its folder and you will be at once brought to a table listing its files exclusively.

The majority of web File Managers are sluggish and very difficult to make use of. They give you limited options and typically are not really easy–to–work–with. We hope to change that with the MysticHost File Manager. It is built to be user–friendly and also to appear to be something you are already well aware of – the File Manager on your personal computer.

All of its capabilities, the drag & drop file upload solutions, the right–click context menus, the inbuilt file editors, etc. are available for just one purpose – to create controlling your site(s) less of a challenge.

The File Manager can save you lots of time whenever using numerous files. You can easily pick multiple files at the same time and use a desired activity for them precisely like you do with your PC. To pick arbitrary files simultaneously, just click the Control key, and to choose a couple of nearby files, press the Shift key. It is that simple.

Once you’ve picked the files, you are able to instantly move them to another spot using the drag–and–drop option. By means of the right–click contextual menu as well as the buttons on top of the file table, you can actually apply multiple other actions – it’s possible to copy, rename, delete, download and change your files, alter file permissions, etc.

There is one common technique to shield a directory with a pass word – by creating an .htaccess file. If, however, you aren’t technically qualified sufficiently, you will have difficulties performing it without any help. For making things easy, we have included a convenient password protection interface to the File Manager readily available in the Web Hosting Control Panel.

To employ the option, just right–click on a folder and select Password Protection. Then submit the user name as well as the pass word that you’ll want to make use of and press the button. That’s all. Now the chosen folder is concealed by the public eye and will also be accessible just to approved users.
