Used as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client substitutes, web–based file managers have always been slow and poorly featured. Still, when using the File Manager featured in the MalangHost Web Site Control Panel, you won’t only employ a blazingly fast, intuitive and user–friendly file managing client, but also a software instrument that will make a 3rd party FTP application unnecessary. Have a look at several of the functions that we have built into our File Manager.
Drag ’n’ drop file uploads
The simplest method to publish files
Uploading files with an FTP tool is an outdated and quite an insecure way of relocating data files from your desktop computer or laptop to a web server. For this reason, we have integrated drag & drop file publish support in the File Manager. Simply drag the files that you need to add from your PC into your Internet browser and they will start to publish in your web hosting profile through a protected SSL connection.
You don’t have to deploy any additional software, browser add–ons or apps. The drag–and–drop function performs equally well on Windows, Linux or Mac.
Right–click context menus
Control your files with merely a mouse–click
Most File Managers include all the activities that one can carry out within a file or directory on the top of the web page. We think that this isn’t properly arranged. Using the File Manager, you can access all of the file administration options at the time you right–click a file or directory. This approach is also applicable for numerous files/folders.
You can actually rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any file or folder you select with just a click of the mouse.
Archive/Unarchive files

It is easy to reduce the size of a folder into a small size by clicking on the Compress button or gain access to the belongings in an archived folder by using the Extract button. When compressing a directory as well as a variety of files, it is also possible to choose the archive extension (.ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ) and also the title of one’s archive file.
Integrated file editors
Zero third–party software packs are required
We have incorporated a set of file editors within the Web Site Control Panel to guide you come up with easy and quick alterations for your files and never having to use third–party software packs. Within the File Manager you will find a WYSIWYG editor that will help you check any changes that you create in real time, a code editor which includes syntax displaying for your personal .PHP or .JS files, and also a plain text editor for more expert customers. All the changes you generate and save are going to be demonstrated instantaneously on the web.
You have access to the file editors using the buttons near the top of the file table or by right–clicking a selected file/folder.
A logical folder structure

Every site features its own directory, that you’ll at once acknowledge, including all of the files associated with the specified site are situated there.
