The XtreemHost File Manager

Importing data files with an FTP tool is an outdated and quite an unsafe way for relocating data files from your personal computer to a web hosting server. This is why, we have integrated drag & drop data file publish support in the File Manager. Simply drag the data files that you need to publish from your desktop computer into your Internet browser and they’ll start to publish in your hosting profile over a safe SSL connection.

You don’t need to install any additional computer software, browser add–ons or apps. The drag–and–drop feature performs equally well on Windows, Mac or Linux.

Most File Managers include all of the activities that one can perform over a file or folder at the top of the page. We think the latter is not properly arranged.

You can actually rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any file or directory you select with just a click of the mouse.

The text editor displays the files with a plain text file format, the code editor provides syntax emphasizing for one’s .PHP or .JS files, and the WYSIWYG editor makes it possible for you to preview your modifications when they appear online. All the changes that you generate and keep will be shown automatically on the web, so you can examine them within your web browser and return to make more modifications, if you are not happy with the result.

You don’t have to download any files whatsoever, to change them in your desktop computer and then to re–upload them back into your hosting account. All the editors are accessible through the buttons at the top of the file table or at the right–click context menus.

The File Manager shows all of the files and directories in a clear to see alphabetical arrangement. The whole set of files pertaining to the many hosts are organized within distinct folders which are named after their particular domains, in order for you to quickly identify them. This is actually useful in managing a lot of different web sites concurrently. There is no chance to stray or to feel really bewildered among the great number of files and folders within your hosting account.

To access the files with a given host, simply choose it in the drop–down navigation near the top of the file table. As an alternative, it’s possible to double–click on its directory and you are without delay sent to a table showing its files only.

There is a single widespread way to protect a directory using a pass word – by creating an .htaccess file. If, however, you are not technologically experienced sufficiently, you will have difficulty carrying it out without any help. To help with making things easy, we’ve integrated a straightforward password protection interface to the File Manager available in the Control Panel.
