A File Manager software tool is found in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it's used to command the files inside an account and all File Managers support a variety of basic capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Several Control Panels could provide more complex capabilities also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files could be uploaded and downloaded through an FTP client, the File Manager is used way more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it will be for you to handle your presence online as a whole. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is tough to use could make it more annoying and challenging for you to manage the website content, especially if you lack previous experience.
