The FastFlashWeb File Manager

Submitting data files with an FTP tool is an outdated and quite an insecure way of transferring data files from your desktop computer or laptop to a hosting server. For this reason, we have integrated drag’n’drop data file upload support in the File Manager. Simply drag the data files that you need to add from your computer into your web browser and they will begin to upload in your hosting account through a secure SSL connection.

There is no need to install any extra software package, browser add–ons or programs. The drag & drop feature works just as well on Windows, Linux and Mac.

The majority of File Managers list all the activities you can conduct within a file or folder on the top of the webpage. We feel that the latter isn’t user–friendly enough. With the File Manager, you can get all file control options any time you right–click a file or directory. This option is likewise applicable for numerous files/folders.

It’s possible to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any file or directory you decide on with merely a click of the mouse.

Unlike a large number of file management user interfaces as well as FTP clients, the FastFlashWeb Web Control Panel provides a way to archive/unarchive files much faster. It is uncomplicated. To get a directory reduced to a compact size, just select it and click on the Compress button. To unwrap the items in an archived folder within your website hosting account, select it and click on the Extract button. The File Manager uses an assortment of file extensions, just like .ZIP, .RAR and .TAR.GZ.

With the File Manager it is easy to change your files instantly on the Internet by using many of the integrated instruments. The text editor reveals the files in a plain text formatting, the code editor provides syntax accentuating for your personal .PHP or .JS files, and then the WYSIWYG editor really helps you to view your modifications as they show up online. Also, all changes that you create and keep will be reflected quickly on the Internet, so that you can preview them within your web browser and go back to create more edits, if unsatisfied.

You don’t have to download your files, to modify them on your machine and to re–upload them into your cloud hosting account. Each of the editors are available through the buttons at the top of the file table or from the right–click contextual menus.

All the files within your hosting account are neatly arranged into folders. Each web host features its own primary directory, that employs the file hierarchy that you have pre–set. In this way, it is really easy to deal with all your hosts from one place without the probability of getting lost or baffled.

By default, you will see all the hosts conveniently mentioned in a table and if you click once on a given host, you will observe the whole set of sub–folders and files related to it. By clicking twice, you will visit a webpage that’s focused on that host exclusively. An additional way to load the folder associated with a certain host and then to use it solely, is to use the drop–down menu at the top of the main File Manager file table.

The vast majority of web File Managers are sluggish and challenging to apply. They give you limited functions and are not really simple to use. We aim to improve that by means of the FastFlashWeb File Manager. It is built to be user–friendly and to seem like a product you you’re already familiar with – the File Manager on your personal computer.

All of its functions, the drag–and–drop file upload options, the right–click contextual menus, the in–built file editors, etc. are available for a single reason – to help make maintaining your website(s) a lot easier.

You’ll be able to handle a plethora of files all at once using the multi–selection ability of the FastFlashWeb File Manager. All you should do is simply hold down the Control key and click on the files or directories which you want to choose. If you want to choose a collection of files/folders in a row at once, click on the first file/folder, click the Shift key and then pick the very last file or folder within the selection.

When you have selected the required files/folders, you can drag them to an alternative place, or employ different actions to them when using the right–click context menu or the buttons near the top of the file table.

Password protection is the foremost path to limit the accessibility to a specific section of your website that you do not plan to be obvious to every one. For example, this might be a safe members’ area or an area with copyrighted data that you like just a number of people to get into.

With the File Manager it is easy to password–secure your web site or possibly a specific directory inside it with a mouse–click. Simply right–click a directory, select Password Protection and define the login name as well as pass word. There is no need to deal with .htaccess files or to make any extra adjustments. From now on, simply the visitors who have your login name and security password will be able to access your site.
