The 2B HOSTING File Manager

The File Manager in your Online Control Panel features a fast, drag’n’drop function that can help you move data files between your PC and your web hosting account with no need to work with an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) tool. You could drag files from your PC and drop them in your Online Control Panel with a click of the mouse using a secure SSL connection.

The drag–and–drop feature is built–into the Online Control Panel, which means you don’t have to mount any third–party software package to take full advantage of it. It will also work on all major Os’s, so all you have to do to employ it is log into your File Manager.

Most File Managers specify all the activities that you can execute with a file or directory on the top of the page. We think that the latter is not properly arranged. Thanks to the File Manager, you can access all of the file management choices when you right–click a file or directory. This method is likewise applicable for a group of files/folders.

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

On account of the in–built archive/unarchive solution, the File Manager enables you to manage large files and not have to use FTP. It is easy to reduce the size of a folder to a lightweight size by clicking on the Compress button or access the contents of an archived directory through the Extract button. Whenever compressing a directory or a group of files, it is possible to decide on the archive extension (.ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ) and also the name of the archive file.

With the File Manager it’s possible to manage your files instantly online employing some of the internal software tools. The text editor shows the files with a plain text formatting, the code editor has syntax highlighting for one’s .PHP or .JS files, and the WYSIWYG editor makes it possible for you to see all the changes when they show up live. Furthermore, all changes that you make and save are going to be demonstrated immediately online, so it’s possible to preview them in your own Internet browser and return to generate further modifications, if not satisfied.

There’s no need to download any files, to change them with your desktop computer and to re–upload them back into your cloud hosting account. All the editors are accessible through the buttons near the top of the file table or through the right–click context menus.

The File Manager lists all of the files and directories in a simple to implement alphabetical arrangement. All of the files pertaining to the different hosts are structured within distinct directories that are titled following their respective domains, allowing you to easily identify them. This is really useful in managing a large number of sites simultaneously. There’s no chance to stray or to feel baffled among the large number of data files and directories within your account.

To access the files within a host, just select it from the drop–down menu near the top of the file table. Additionally, it’s possible to double–click on its folder and you will be quickly taken up to a table listing its files exclusively.

Dealing with all of your files is user–friendly and easy to do when using the 2B HOSTING Online Control Panel. You will have a file managing environment that’s not far from your personal computer’s file explorer. You are able to drag and drop files and take care of them with a right mouse–click. Thanks to the built in preview solution, you will see images exactly like they will appear online, and through the built–in file editors you can easily make transformations to your files right away.

Any time you need support controlling your files, you can easily take a look at the massive collection of articles and how–to instructional videos, that you can access with only a mouse–click.

With the 2B HOSTING File Manager, you’ll be able to pick out many different files or directories like you do on your personal computer. Simply hold down the Control (Command for Mac OS) key and click on the desired files/folders. Or, to choose a lot of files/folders at the same time, click on a single file/folder, press the Shift key and click on any other file or folder.

Having once chosen the whole set of files that you need, you can easily drag them to a pre–selected location, or use the right–click contextual menu to see a list of the available actions.

There is one typical way for you to guard a directory with a security password – by generating an .htaccess file. In case, however, you are not technologically experienced enough, you will have difficulty carrying it out without any help. To generate things easy, we have integrated an easy–to–work–with password protection interface to the File Manager accessible within the Online Control Panel.

To employ the option, simply right–click on a folder and choose Password Protection. After that add the login name and the security password that you would like to employ and then click on the button. That’s all. The chosen directory is going to be hidden by the general pubic and will also be available only to authorized users.
