Nevertheless, with the File Manager included in the Web Hosting For Life Website Control Panel, you won’t only have a quick, responsive and time and effort saving file managing client, but also a tool that will make a 3rd party FTP program unneeded.

It requires just a few seconds to publish a data file and slightly longer for larger files and folders.
There is no need to install any third–party software package or browser plug–ins. The drag’n’drop function included in the File Manager works equally well on all popular operating systems.
