The Fish Dog Domains hosting File Manager

Moving data files between your personal computer and any of your web pages is now easy and quick, because of the drag–and–drop feature provided by the File Manager. You could pull files from your notebook or computer and drop them in your Website Control Panel through a secure SSL communication. That’s it. It will take just a few seconds to publish a file and slightly longer for the bigger files and directories.

You don’t need to set up any third–party software package or web browser plugins. The drag’n’drop feature contained in the File Manager works equally well on all main OS’s.

A large number of File Managers specify all of the activities that one can perform within a file or folder on the top of the web page. We feel the latter is just not user–friendly enough. With the File Manager, you have access to all of the file administration choices any time you right–click a file or directory. This approach is also applicable for a lot of files/folders.

It is easy to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete every file or folder you decide on with merely a click of the mouse.

Compared with the vast majority of file management user interfaces as well as FTP clients, the Fish Dog Domains hosting Website Control Panel offers a solution to archive/unarchive files noticeably faster. It is really convenient–to–use. To get a folder reduced into a compact size, simply select it and then click the Compress button. To open up the contents of an archived directory within your cloud hosting account, choose it and click on the Extract button. The File Manager uses a wide range of file extensions, such as .ZIP, .RAR and .TAR.GZ.

Our File Manager will allow you to change your files entirely on the web server and never have to download, change and after that re–upload them. You are able to update your files directly on the Internet, applying our built in editors. We supply a code editor with syntax highlighting for your .JS or .PHP files, a WYSIWYG editor for HTML files, in addition to a regular text editor for the more skilled end users.

You can access every file editor through the right–click contextual menus. All corrections produced to the files will be shown right away online – it is easy to directly preview them in the Internet browser.

All the files within your web hosting account are arranged into folders. Each web host does have its primary directory, that employs the file hierarchy that you have created. By doing this, it is really easy to control all your hosts from a single location without the risk of becoming lost or confused.

By default, you will notice each of the hosts mentioned in a table and when you mouse–click once on a specific host, you will observe all the sub–folders and files related to it. By clicking two times, you will visit a webpage that is dedicated to that host only. One other way to load the folder related to a specific host and to work with it exclusively, is by using the drop–down menu at the top of the primary File Manager file table.

The Fish Dog Domains hosting File Manager is created in such a way to make you feel just like working with the file explorer on your computer. It features a way to drag your files and then to drop them inside a desired area and indicates all the readily available edit options on clicking the right computer mouse button. In addition, the tool includes a built–in file preview option and various file editors that will help you change your files in real time from your Website Control Panel.

Also, we have integrated a number of file management posts and how–to video lessons to help you rather quickly learn how to work with the tool.

You can manage a huge amount of files all at once making use of the multi–selection ability of the Fish Dog Domains hosting File Manager. All you should do is hold down the Control key and then click on the files or folders that you want to select. In order to choose a collection of files/folders in a row at once, pick the first file/folder, click the Shift key after which choose the final file or folder within the collection.

For people with selected the required files/folders, you can either drag them to a different location, or implement various activities to them when using the right–click contextual menu or the buttons at the top of the file table.

There is one popular path to protect a directory with a security password – by generating an .htaccess file. If, however, you are not technically competent sufficiently, you will have trouble doing it by yourself. To generate things simple for you, we’ve integrated a convenient password protection user interface to the File Manager readily available within the Website Control Panel.

To employ the option, just right–click on a directory and pick Password Protection. Then add the username plus the password that you want to apply and click on the button. That’s all. Now the chosen folder is concealed by the public eye and will be available to authorized users.
