Applied as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software alternatives, web file management tools have always been slow and poor in features. Nevertheless, using the File Manager built in the Black Star Cloud Website Control Panel, you won’t just employ a quick, responsive and easy–to–use file administration interface, but also an app that will make a third party FTP software unnecessary. Take a look at several of the characteristics that we have included in our File Manager.

Drag ’n’ drop file uploads

The most simple way to upload data files

Submitting files with an FTP client is an outdated and really unsafe method for transferring files from your notebook or computer to a web hosting server. For this reason, we have integrated drag & drop file publish support in the File Manager. Simply drag the data files that you need to add from your computer into your Internet browser and they will start to publish in your hosting account over a safe SSL connection.

You don’t need to install any additional software pack, web browser plug–ins or applications. The drag & drop feature works equally well on Windows, Mac and Linux.

A logical folder structure

All your files structured with an intuitive way

All the files within your cloud hosting account are organized into directories. Each and every host features its own primary directory, that follows the file structure you have pre–set. This way, it is really very easy to manage all your hosts from one place without any probability of becoming lost or perplexed.

By standard, you will see all of the hosts conveniently indexed in a table and when you mouse–click once over a specific host, you will observe the whole set of sub–folders and files pertaining to it. By clicking on twice, you are going to visit a webpage that is devoted to that host exclusively. A further way to open the folder associated with a given host and then to work with it solely, is to use the drop–down menu at the top of the main File Manager file table.
