The majority of File Managers list all of the activities that you can conduct on a file or directory at the top of the webpage. We think that this is just not properly arranged. Thanks to the File Manager, you can access all file control choices whenever you right–click a file or folder. This approach is likewise applicable for numerous files/folders.

From your File Manager you’ll be able to alter your files directly online using the inbuilt instruments. The text editor reveals the files in a plain text file format, the code editor has syntax highlighting for your personal .PHP or .JS files, and the WYSIWYG editor enables you to see your modifications when they appear online.
