The Waffihosting File Manager

Adding data files with an FTP client is an out–of–date and really unsafe method for transmitting files from your notebook or computer to a hosting server. By reason of this, we have integrated drag’n’drop data file upload support in the File Manager. Just drag the data files that you want to add from your computer into your Internet browser and they’ll start to upload in your website hosting profile over a risk–free SSL connection.

There is no need to install any additional software package, browser plug–ins or programs. The drag & drop functionality operates just as well on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Because of the right–click menus we have put into the File Manager, you can revise all of your files in a time and effort saving manner. Just click on a file or directory and from the panel that will appear, find the actions that you’d like. It is possible to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any picked file. Should you click on a folder, you can also see the option to create a different sub–folder or file within it.

If you select multiple files or directories, it is easy to use identical measures for all of them concurrently.

Unlike a large number of file management interfaces as well as FTP clients, the Waffihosting Web Site Control Panel has an option to archive/unarchive files much more speedily. It is user–friendly.

By default, you will see all of the hosts listed in a table and when you mouse–click once over a given host, you will observe the whole set of sub–folders and files pertaining to it.
