The REL Web Hosting File Manager
You can forget about FTP clients with our File Manager

Applied as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software alternatives, online file management tools have always been slow and poor in capabilities. Nevertheless, with the File Manager featured in the REL Web Hosting Web Control Panel, you won’t just employ a quick, responsive and time and effort saving file supervision interface, but also a software tool that will make an external FTP software unnecessary. Consider several of the functions that we have integrated into our File Manager.
Drag ’n’ drop file uploads
The simplest approach to publish files
Adding data files with an FTP client is an out–of–date and quite an insecure method for transmitting files from your desktop machine or notebook to a web hosting server. That’s why, we have included drag & drop file publish support in the File Manager. Simply drag the files that you want to publish from your computer into your Internet browser and they will begin to publish in your hosting account over a secure SSL communication.
You don’t have to deploy any extra software, web browser add–ons or apps. The drag & drop feature operates equally well on Windows, Mac or Linux.

Because of the right–click menus that we have put into the File Manager, you are able to revise your files incredibly easy. Click on a file or directory and from the panel that will actually pop up, pick the actions that you like. It is possible to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete just about any picked file. Should you click on a folder, additionally, you’ll see the option to create a completely new sub–folder or file inside.
Whenever you choose different files or folders, it is possible to use identical procedures for all of them simultaneously.
Archive/Unarchive files

The File Manager uses many file extensions, for example .ZIP, .RAR and .TAR.GZ.
Online file editors
The quickest approach to change your files
The File Manager will allow you to edit your files on the server without having to download, adjust and subsequently re–upload them. You are able to adjust your files instantly online, by using the built in editors.

A logical folder structure
Your files structured in an intuitive way
When you are managing a couple of web sites concurrently, it is important to have every little thing arranged. With some other File Managers, updating a lot of websites in the exact same website hosting account can be quite tricky. Using the File Manager, you’ll see that it’s in fact pretty easy. Every single site has its own directory, which you can at once identify, including all of the files related to the given web site are placed there.
And to make things even easier, you will find there’s a drop–down navigation from which you can quickly pick on which host you would like to work inside the File Manager. Our intelligent system will lead you there within seconds.
A user–friendly interface
A File Manager developed for the general public
Most web File Managers are slow and complex to make use of. They have constrained possibilities and typically are not really convenient–to–use. We strive to improve that with the REL Web Hosting File Manager. It was meant to be easy–to–use and also to seem like a product you you are already familiar with – the File Manager on your desktop.

If you have selected the desired files/folders, you can either drag them to a different location, or apply various actions to them using the right–click contextual menu or the buttons near the top of the file table.
Quick & simple password protection options
