A File Manager tool is found in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name implies, it is used to command the files inside an account and all File Managers support a number of primary capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A few Control Panels can offer more complex capabilities too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files may be uploaded and downloaded with an FTP client, the File Manager is used much more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to manage your online presence in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's hard to use could make it more irritating and difficult for you to manage the site content, especially if you do not have previous experience.
