Applied as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client substitutes, web file management tools have always been sluggish and poorly featured. Yet, with the File Manager featured in the Hosting Gators Control Panel, you won’t just have a speedy, intuitive and easy–to–work–with file supervision software, but also a software instrument that will make a third–party FTP program unneeded. Take a look at several of the capabilities that we have integrated into our File Manager.

Drag ’n’ drop file uploads

The most effective approach to add files

Adding data files with an FTP client is an out–of–date and really insecure method for transferring data files from your desktop machine or notebook to a hosting server. For this reason, we have included drag & drop file upload support in the File Manager. Just pull the data files that you need to publish from your computer into your web browser and they’ll start to upload in your hosting account over a protected SSL communication.

There is no need to set up any extra software, web browser extensions or web apps. The drag–and–drop capability works equally well on Windows, Linux and Mac.
