The Xanthari Web Systems File Manager

Moving files between your desktop computer and any of your websites is now easy and quick, because of the drag’n’drop option offered by the File Manager. You could pull files from your PC and drop them in the Hosting Control Panel over a secure SSL connection. That’s all. It usually takes a few seconds to upload a data file and a bit longer for the larger data files and directories.

You do not have to add any third party software or Internet browser addons. The drag’n’drop function contained in the File Manager performs just as well on all main operating systems.

On account of the right–click menus that we have included on the File Manager, you’ll be able to modify your files in a time and effort saving manner. Click on a file or folder and with the pop–up panel, find the actions that you’d like. You’ll be able to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete virtually any chosen file. If you click a folder, additionally, you will see the option to make a different sub–folder or file inside it.

If you select numerous files or directories, you’ll be able to apply the exact same measures to all of them concurrently.

Due to the built–in archive/unarchive solution, the File Manager will let you manage huge files without the need to use FTP. You can pack a folder into a small size by simply clicking on the Compress button or gain access to the contents of an archived folder by using the Extract button. Whenever compressing a folder or a range of files, it is also possible to choose the archive extension (.ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ) and also the title of one’s archive file.

With the File Manager you’ll be able to modify your files instantly on the net by making use of any of the included software tools. The text editor reveals the files with a plain text file format, the code editor has syntax highlighting for your personal .PHP or .JS files, and the WYSIWYG editor helps to see your edits as they show up online. Also, all changes which you generate and keep will be demonstrated instantly on the net, which enables you to review them inside your Internet browser and go back to make more changes, in case you are not satisfied with the result.

You do not have to download any files whatsoever, to revise them in your machine and to re–upload them back into your web hosting account. All of the editors are accessible using the buttons near the top of the file table or through the right–click context menus.

All the files inside your website hosting account are structured into directories. Every single host does have its primary folder, which employs the file hierarchy that you have created. Using this method, it is very easy to maintain all of your current hosts from one place without the chance of becoming lost or puzzled.

By standard, you’ll see each of the hosts listed in a table and when you mouse–click once on a given host, you will observe all the sub–folders and files pertaining to it. By clicking two times, you will go to a page that’s focused on that host alone. A further way to load the folder pertaining to a given host and also to use it solely, is to try using the drop–down menu towards the top of the main File Manager file table.

The majority of web File Managers are slow and hard to work with. They give modest functions and aren’t really intuitive. We seek to transform that by means of the Xanthari Web Systems File Manager. It was built to be intuitive and also to resemble a product you already know – the File Manager on your personal computer system.

All of its attributes, the drag–and–drop file upload solutions, the right–click contextual menus, the in–built file editors, etc. are available for 1 reason – to help make maintaining your web site(s) more convenient.

Using the Xanthari Web Systems File Manager, it’s possible to pick a variety of files or directories just like you do on your desktop machine or notebook. Simply hold down the Control (Command for Mac) key and then click the desired files/folders. If you would like, to select a good amount of files/folders simultaneously, simply click a single file/folder, hold down the Shift key and then click any other file or folder.

When you have selected the whole set of files that you require, it’s possible to drag them to a distinct directory, or take advantage of the right–click context menu to check out a listing of the available features.

There is one common way for you to secure a folder using a password – by making an .htaccess file. In case, however, you are not technically qualified enough, you will have difficulties performing it all by yourself. To help with making things straightforward, we’ve added a user–friendly password protection user interface to the File Manager obtainable within the Hosting Control Panel.

To make use of this option, just right–click on a folder and pick Password Protection. Then add the user name plus the pass word that you’ll want to implement and then click on the button. That’s it. The particular directory is hidden by the regular website visitors and will be available just to approved account owners.
