The A Bit Server File Manager

The File Manager in your Web Control Panel boasts a fast, drag–and–drop feature that can help you transfer data files between your PC and your web hosting profile with no need to apply an FTP tool. You can drag files from your personal computer and drop them in your Web Control Panel with a click of the mouse through a safe SSL connection.

The drag’n’drop feature is incorporated into the Web Control Panel, which means you will not need to deploy any third party software package to use it. It also works well on all leading Os’s, so all you need to do to employ it is sign in to your File Manager.

The majority of File Managers list all of the actions that you can execute on a file or directory on the top of the page. We feel the latter is not user–friendly enough. Using the File Manager, you can access all file managing options any time you right–click a file or directory. This method is also applicable for many different files/folders.

You can rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete every file or directory you decide using a click of the mouse.

On account of the inbuilt archive/unarchive solution, the File Manager enables you to deal with enormous files without the need to use FTP. You can pack a directory to a compact size by clicking on the Compress button or gain access to the contents of an archived directory using the Extract button. Whenever compressing a folder or a couple of files, you will be able to choose the archive extension (.ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ) along with the name of the archive file.

With the File Manager you can modify your files directly on the Internet making use of some of the inbuilt software instruments. The text editor displays the files in a plain text file format, the code editor provides syntax displaying for your .PHP or .JS files, and the WYSIWYG editor makes it possible to see all the edits when they appear online. Any changes which you generate and keep can be reflected automatically on the world wide web, meaning you can review them inside your Internet browser and return to create more edits, in case you are not satisfied with the result.

You do not have to download your files, to modify them on your personal computer and then to re–upload them back to your web hosting account. All of the editors are accessible through the buttons near the top of the file table or from your right–click contextual menus.

When you are handling a range of sites simultaneously, it’s highly recommendable for you to have everything sorted out. With other File Managers, editing a great number of sites within the same account can be very tricky. With our File Manager, you’ll find that it’s in fact rather easy. Every single web site has its own folder, which you can straight away acknowledge, including all of the files associated with the specific site are found there.

And then to make everything so much easier, we have a drop–down menu where it’s easy to select on exactly which host you would like to work within the File Manager. Our intelligent system will lead you there within seconds.

Most web File Managers are sluggish and quite difficult to apply. They have reduced functions and certainly are not really user–friendly. We aim to transform that with the A Bit Server File Manager. It was designed to be time and effort saving and to appear to be something you are already well aware of – the File Manager on your desktop.

All its attributes, the drag & drop file upload solutions, the right–click context menus, the built in file editors, etc. are available for just one purpose – to help make taking care of your site(s) simpler.

With the A Bit Server File Manager, you are able to choose an array of files or folders like you do on your own computer. Just keep pressed the Control (Command for Mac) key and click on the required files/folders. In case you would like, to pick a lot of files/folders at once, just click a single file/folder, press the Shift key and click on any other file or folder.

When you have picked each of the files that you want to, you can actually drag them into a different directory, or use the right–click contextual menu to find out a list of the accessible features.

There is a single standard technique to secure a folder using a password – by creating an .htaccess file. In case, however, you are not technologically qualified sufficiently, you will have issues carrying it out all on your own. For making things easy for you, we’ve added an uncomplicated password protection user interface to the File Manager available inside the Web Control Panel.

To employ this option, just right–click on a directory and select Password Protection. After that fill out the username and the pass word that you’d like to use and then click on the button. That’s all. Now the selected directory will be undetectable from the general pubic and will be available just to authorized account holders.
