A File Manager software tool is found in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name suggests, it's used to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a range of basic capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A number of Control Panels could offer more advanced features as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files could be uploaded and downloaded via an FTP client, the File Manager is used a lot more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to control your presence online in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is not easy to use could make it more aggravating and challenging for you to manage your website content, particularly if you don't have previous experience.
