The GDS Pro Web Hosting File Manager

Submitting files with an FTP client is an out–of–date and quite an insecure way of shifting files from your laptop or computer to a web server. This is why, we have integrated drag & drop data file publish support in the File Manager. Just drag the files that you want to upload from your PC into your Internet browser and they will start to publish in your hosting account over a safe SSL communication.

You don’t need to deploy any additional software package, browser plug–ins or apps. The drag–and–drop functionality works equally well on Windows, Linux and Mac.

The majority of File Managers list all of the activities that one can conduct over a file or directory at the top of the webpage. We think the latter is just not user–friendly enough. With the File Manager, you have access to all of the file management choices at the time you right–click a file or folder. This option is likewise valid for many different files/folders.

It is easy to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete just about any file or directory you choose with a mouse–click.

Because of the internal archive/unarchive option, the File Manager makes it possible for you to work with big files with no need to use FTP. You’re able to reduce the size of a folder to a compact size by clicking on the Compress button or access the belongings in an archived folder using the Extract button. Whenever compressing a folder as well as a range of files, you will be able to decide on the archive extension (.ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ) and the title of the archive file.

From your File Manager you can modify your files directly online by making use of many of the built in software instruments. The text editor reveals the files in a plain text format, the code editor provides syntax displaying for one’s .PHP or .JS files, and the WYSIWYG editor makes it possible to see all the changes as they appear online. Any changes which you make and keep are going to be displayed straight away online, so you can preview them inside your Internet browser and go back to create more modifications, if unsatisfied.

There’s no need to download any files whatsoever, to revise them with your machine and to re–upload them into your cloud hosting account. All the editors are accessible via the buttons near the top of the file table or at the right–click context menus.

All the files inside your hosting account are arranged into folders. Each web host does have its main directory, which uses the file hierarchy which you have created. This way, it is simple to control all of your current hosts from one place with no chance of becoming lost or confused.

By standard, you will see all the hosts listed in a table and when you click once on a given host, you’ll see all of the sub–folders and files related to it. By clicking on two times, you are going to go to a page that’s dedicated to that host only. An additional way to open the folder pertaining to a specific host and also to work with it exclusively, is by using the drop–down menu near the top of the main File Manager file table.

The GDS Pro Web Hosting File Manager was developed in such a manner as to help you feel like making use of the file explorer on your personal computer. It provides you with a solution to drag your files and then to drop them in a preferred area and shows all of the available modification alternatives after clicking the right computer mouse button. Additionally, the tool boasts an incorporated file preview solution and various file editors enabling you to modify your files instantly directly from your Control Panel.

In addition, we’ve enclosed a set of file management posts and how–to instructional videos to help you fairly quickly learn how to make use of the tool.

Using the GDS Pro Web Hosting File Manager, you are able to select many files or directories just like you do on your desktop machine or notebook.

If you would like, to pick a good amount of files/folders at the same time, just click a single file/folder, press the Shift key and click on any file or folder.

Having once picked all of the files that you’ll require, you are able to drag them to a specified directory, or make use of the right–click context menu to find out an index of the available activities.

Password protection is the foremost way to reduce the accessibility to a particular part of your web site you don’t want to be visible to everyone. For example, this can be a safe members’ place or a place with copyrighted data that you want just specific people to access.

In the File Manager you’ll be able to password–guard your website as well as a certain directory within it with a mouse–click. Simply right–click a folder, pick Password Protection and submit the user name and also security password. It is not necessary to manage .htaccess files or to try to make any other adjustments.
