The TulipHosting File Manager

Publishing data files with an FTP tool is an outdated and quite an insecure way for moving files from your desktop machine or laptop to a hosting server. That’s why, we have included drag’n’drop file upload support in the File Manager. Just drag the files that you want to add from your PC into your browser and they’ll start to upload in your hosting profile through a protected SSL communication.

You don’t have to deploy any additional software, web browser add–ons or web apps. The drag–and–drop functionality operates equally well on Windows, Mac or Linux.

The majority of File Managers list all the activities which you can perform with a file or folder on the top of the webpage. We believe that the latter isn’t user–friendly enough. Thanks to the File Manager, you have access to all file management choices when you right–click a file or directory. This option is likewise applicable for different files/folders.

You can rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete every file or folder you decide with merely a click of the mouse.

From your File Manager it is possible to edit your files directly on the net by making use of many of the built in software tools. The text editor displays the files in a plain text formatting, the code editor has syntax emphasizing for one’s .PHP or .JS files, and then the WYSIWYG editor really helps you to see all the modifications as they show up online. Also, all changes which you generate and save are going to be demonstrated right away on the net, so that you can preview them inside your browser and return to make extra modifications, in case you are not satisfied with the result.

There’s no need to download any files, to revise them on your desktop computer and to re–upload them back in your account. Each of the editors are accessible through the buttons at the top of the file table or through the right–click context menus.

The File Manager lists all of the files and directories using a clear to understand alphabetical arrangement. The whole set of files pertaining to the many hosts are sorted within distinct directories which are named after their respective domain names, which enables you to quite easily recognize them. This is really useful in maintaining a lot of web sites concurrently. There’s no opportunity to get lost or to feel baffled amidst the variety of data files and directories with your account.

To reach the files under a host, simply select it from the drop–down options menu near the top of the file table. Alternatively, you’ll be able to double–click on its directory and you are easily brought to a table showing its files only.

There is one typical technique to guard a folder using a password – by generating an .htaccess file. If, however, you are not technically qualified enough, you’ll have trouble doing the work by yourself.
