The GHF Hosting File Manager

Adding data files with an FTP tool is an obsolete and really unsafe way for switching files from your laptop or computer to a hosting server. That’s why, we have included drag–and–drop file upload support in the File Manager. Just pull the files that you want to add from your desktop computer into your Internet browser and they will begin to publish in your hosting account through a secure SSL connection.

You do not have to install any additional computer software, web browser plug–ins or programs. The drag–and–drop functionality operates just as well on Windows, Linux or Mac.

The majority of File Managers include all of the actions you can perform over a file or directory on the top of the webpage. We believe the latter is just not user–friendly enough. Using the File Manager, you can get all of the file management choices when you right–click a file or directory. This approach is also valid for different files/folders.

It is easy to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any file or folder you choose with simply a mouse–click.

Also, you’ll be able to archive current folders or files with only a mouse–click.

The archive/unarchive option available at the File Manager lets you use enormous files right from your Web Site Control Panel. No reason to employ any third party software just like an FTP client in an effort to upload a huge file in your web hosting account or to download an archive on your desktop.

Our File Manager helps you to manage your files on the web hosting server without having to download, transform after which re–upload them. You can revise your files straight away on the net, by using the built in editors.

You can access every single file editor making use of the right–click contextual menus. All changes made to the files will appear at once online – you’re able to directly preview them inside the browser.

Each of the files within your hosting account are structured into folders. Each host does have its primary folder, which uses the file structure that you’ve selected. Using this method, it is really simple to control all of your hosts in one location with no chance of getting lost or baffled.

By default, you will see all the hosts mentioned in a table and if you mouse–click once on a given host, you will see all of the sub–folders and files related to it. By clicking on two times, you will go to a webpage that’s focused entirely on that host only. An alternative way to open the folder related to a certain host and to use it solely, is to try using the drop–down menu near the top of the primary File Manager file table.

There is one typical approach to guard a directory using a pass word – by creating an .htaccess file. If, however, you aren’t technically experienced sufficiently, you will have difficulty doing it by yourself.
