Each of the files in your hosting account are neatly organized into directories. Every single web host has its own main directory, which employs the file structure which you have created. Using this method, it is simple to manage all of your current hosts from a single location without risk of becoming lost or baffled.

By standard, you’ll see all the hosts placed in a table and if you click once on a specific host, you will see all the sub–folders and files associated with it. By clicking two times, you are going to visit a web page that’s centered on that host exclusively. An alternative way to load the folder associated with a specific host and then to work with it solely, is to use the drop–down menu towards the top of the main File Manager file table.

There is a single widespread route to shield a folder using a pass word – by making an .htaccess file.

To help make things simple, we have designed a convenient password protection user interface to the File Manager readily available inside the Web Site Control Panel.
