The Midwest Marketing File Manager

Moving files between your computer and any of your sites is now quick and easy, because of the drag–and–drop option provided by the File Manager. You can easily pull files from your laptop or computer and drop them in your Online Control Panel through a secure SSL connection. That’s it. It takes a few seconds to publish a data file and a bit longer for bigger data files and folders.

You don’t need to mount any third–party application or web browser add–ons. The drag’n’drop function contained in the File Manager works just as well on all leading OS’s.

A large number of File Managers specify all the activities you can execute within a file or folder at the top of the web page. We feel that this is not intuitive enough. Thanks to the File Manager, you can get all file administration choices when you right–click a file or folder. This method is also valid for a group of files/folders.

You can actually rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete just about any file or directory you select with simply a click of the mouse.

On account of the in–built archive/unarchive solution, the File Manager lets you use huge files and not have to use FTP. You are able to pack a directory into a small size by simply clicking on the Compress button or gain access to the contents of an archived directory through the Extract button. Whenever compressing a directory as well as a list of files, you’ll be able to decide on the archive extension (.ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ) as well as the name of the archive file.

Through the File Manager you can modify your files directly on the Internet when using some of the built–in software instruments. The text editor shows the files with a plain text format, the code editor provides syntax accentuating for your .PHP or .JS files, and the WYSIWYG editor allows you to view your edits as they appear live. All the changes that you generate and save will be displayed automatically on the Internet, allowing you to examine them in your own browser and go back to create extra edits, in case you are not happy with the result.

It is not necessary to download any files, to revise them in your desktop computer and to re–upload them back in your cloud hosting account. Each of the editors are available through the buttons at the top of the file table or at the right–click contextual menus.

The File Manager displays all files and folders in a clear to see alphabetical order. Each of the files associated with the various hosts are sorted into individual directories which are titled after their individual domain names, so it’s possible to efficiently acknowledge them. This is actually useful when you are controlling a group of web sites simultaneously. There isn’t any chance to stray or to feel really confused amidst the large number of data files and directories with your web hosting account.

To gain access to the files within a specified host, simply select it in the drop–down options menu at the top of the file table. Alternatively, you can easily double–click on its directory and you are at once transported to a table listing its files exclusively.

Most web File Managers are sluggish and tricky to apply. They offer reduced functions and typically are not really convenient–to–use. We aim to improve that with the Midwest Marketing File Manager. It’s created to be time and effort saving and to appear to be something you already know – the File Manager on your PC.

All of its capabilities, the drag & drop file upload options, the right–click context menus, the built in file editors, etcetera exist for just one purpose – to help make controlling your site(s) more convenient.

It is easy to make use of a great number of files at the same time while using the multi–selection ability of the Midwest Marketing File Manager. All you should do is just press the Control key and then click on the files or folders that you like to pick. If you would like pick a collection of files/folders in a row simultaneously, pick the first file/folder, press the Shift key after which click on the last file or folder inside the collection.

When you have chosen the required files/folders, you can drag them to a specific place, or apply various actions to them when using the right–click context menu as well as the buttons near the top of the file table.

There’s one popular technique to safeguard a folder using a pass word – by generating an .htaccess file. In case, however, you aren’t technically competent sufficiently, you’ll have difficulty performing it on your own. To generate things easy, we’ve added an easy–to–navigate password protection user interface to the File Manager readily available within the Online Control Panel.

To make use of this option, just right–click on a folder and select Password Protection. After that submit the login name and the security password that you like to apply and press the button. That’s it. Now the selected folder will be concealed from the regular website visitors and will also be available to authorized users.
