A File Manager tool is present in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name suggests, it is used to manage the files inside an account and all File Managers support a range of primary capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Several Control Panels can provide more advanced capabilities too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files may be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is used considerably more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to manage your presence online altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's not easy to use may make it more aggravating and difficult for you to handle the site content, especially if you do not have previous experience.
