The Future Techniques File Manager
Forget about FTP clients with the File Manager
Applied as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software substitutes, web file managers have always been sluggish and poor in capabilities. Nonetheless, when using the File Manager built in the Future Techniques Web Hosting Control Panel, you will not only employ a quick, intuitive and time and effort saving file management interface, but also a software instrument that will make a 3rd party FTP application unneeded. Check out a few of the options that we have built into our File Manager.
Drag ’n’ drop file uploads
The most effective method to publish files
Uploading data files with an FTP client is an out–of–date and really insecure way of relocating files from your desktop computer or notebook to a web server. By reason of this, we have integrated drag’n’drop data file upload support in the File Manager. Just drag the files that you want to upload from your computer into your web browser and they’ll start to publish in your web hosting account over a risk–free SSL connection.
You don’t have to mount any extra software, web browser extensions or programs. The drag & drop functionality performs equally well on Windows, Mac or Linux.
Right–click context menus
Check out each of the easily accessible file managing options with merely a mouse–click
Thanks to the right–click menus we’ve included with the File Manager, it is possible to modify your files in a time and effort saving manner. Just click on a file or directory and from the panel that will pop up, decide on the action that you want. You can rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any chosen file. If you click a folder, you will also see the option to establish a different sub–folder or file within it.
If you select multiple files or folders, it is easy to apply identical procedures to all of them concurrently.
Archive/Unarchive files
Maintain archives with simply a click of the mouse
The File Manager comes with an integrated archive/unarchive option that can help you add enormous archives and extract them inside your account in seconds. The moment compressing a file or directory, you will be able to select the name for the archive that is to be created as well as its extension – .ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ. Additionally, you are able to archive already present folders or files with just a mouse–click.
The archive/unarchive solution offered by the File Manager lets you handle huge files directly from your Web Hosting Control Panel. No need to employ any third party software just like an FTP client in an effort to upload a large file onto your hosting account or download an archive in your desktop.
Online file editors
The best method to modify your files
The File Manager lets you edit your files directly on the web server without having to download, modify and re–upload them. You’ll be able to revise your files straight away on the Internet, working with our built in editors. We offer a code editor provided with syntax emphasizing for your .JS or .PHP files, a WYSIWYG editor for HTML files, along with a standard text editor for more skilled users.
You can access every file editor when using the right–click contextual menus. All of the corrections made to the files are demonstrated quickly online – you are able to directly examine them inside the web browser.
A logical folder structure
All your files sorted with a user–friendly manner
Each of the files inside your website hosting account are separated into folders. Each host features its own primary folder, that employs the file hierarchy that you’ve pre–set. Using this method, it is easy to handle all of your current hosts from one location without the chance of becoming lost or confused.
By default, you will see each of the hosts mentioned in a table and when you click once over a given host, you will observe the whole set of sub–folders and files pertaining to it. By clicking on two times, you will visit a page that’s focused on that host exclusively. A different way to load the folder related to a specific host and also to use it exclusively, is to use the drop–down menu near the top of the main File Manager file table.
A user–friendly interface
Take care of your data with merely a click of the mouse
The Future Techniques File Manager has been made in such a manner as to make you feel like employing the file explorer on your computer. It functions an option to drag your files and to drop them inside a preferred area and indicates all the readily available edit alternatives upon clicking the right computer mouse button. Also, the tool features an internal file preview solution as well as other file editors making it possible for you to modify your files right away directly from your Web Hosting Control Panel.
In addition, we’ve bundled a number of file management articles and how–to instructional videos to guide you to fairly quickly find out how to work with the tool.
Work with multiple files
Adjust numerous files concurrently
With the Future Techniques File Manager, it is possible to choose a lot of files or folders exactly like you do on your laptop or computer. Simply hold down the Control (Command for Mac OS) key and click on the required files/folders. Or, to choose a lot of files/folders simultaneously, click one file/folder, press the Shift key and then click any file or folder.
After you have picked the whole set of files that you want to, you can actually drag them to a distinct location, or use the right–click contextual menu to find out a list of the accessible activities.
1–click password protection options
The ultimate way to take care of your information
Password protection is the greatest route to limit the means to access a specific section of your site that you don’t wish to be exposed to everyone. For instance, this could be a safe members’ place or, perhaps an area with copyrighted information that you like only specific customers to view.
In the File Manager you can password–guard your site or possibly a certain directory inside it with just a click of the mouse. Just right–click a folder, pick Password Protection and select the user name and password. There is no need to handle .htaccess files or create any other configurations. From now on, merely the site visitors that have your username and security password will access your web site.
