The Bliss Hosting File Manager

Uploading data files with an FTP client is an obsolete and quite an insecure way of relocating files from your computer to a web hosting server. This is why, we have included drag & drop file upload support in the File Manager. Simply drag the files that you need to publish from your desktop computer into your browser and they’ll start to upload in your website hosting account through a protected SSL connection.

There is no need to mount any additional software, web browser extensions or web apps. The drag–and–drop function works equally well on Windows, Linux or Mac.

On account of the right–click menus we’ve included in the File Manager, it’s possible to manage your files easier than ever. Simply click on a file or folder and through the pop–up panel, select the actions you want. You can rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete just about any chosen file. If you click a folder, you can also view the option to establish a new sub–folder or file inside it.

Whenever you choose many different files or folders, you will be able to use identical measures to all of them concurrently.

Compared to the majority of file management interfaces as well as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) clients, the Bliss Hosting Website Control Panel has a way to archive/unarchive files more speedily. It is easy to use. To get a directory shrunk to a compact size, simply choose it and click on the Compress button. To unwrap the contents of an archived folder inside your hosting account, pick it and click on the Extract button. The File Manager supports a range of file extensions, like .ZIP, .RAR and .TAR.GZ.

We have bundled a collection of file editors in the Website Control Panel to enable you to create quick and simple adjustments for your files and never having to use third party apps. Inside the File Manager there is also a WYSIWYG editor that can help you check any changes you come up with immediately, a code editor that features syntax emphasizing for one’s .JS or .PHP files, together with a plain text editor for more expert users. All the changes which you make and keep can be reflected immediately online.

You have access to the file editors using the buttons near the top of the file table as well as by right–clicking a particular file/folder.

Each of the files within your website hosting account are neatly sorted into directories. Each host features its own primary folder, that employs the file hierarchy which you have defined. This way, it is simple to control all your hosts in one place without any chance of getting lost or baffled.

By default, you will notice all the hosts listed in a table and when you mouse–click once over a given host, you’ll see the whole set of sub–folders and files related to it. By clicking on twice, you will visit a page that is dedicated to that host exclusively. A different way to load the folder related to a specific host and to use it exclusively, is using the drop–down menu towards the top of the main File Manager file table.

The vast majority of online File Managers are slow–moving and very difficult to make use of. They give you reduced options and certainly are not really intuitive. We aim to improve that through the Bliss Hosting File Manager. It is developed to be intuitive and to resemble something you are already well aware of – the File Manager on your personal computer.

All its features, the drag’n’drop file upload options, the right–click context menus, the in–built file editors, etcetera are available for one reason – to create handling your site(s) simpler.

Using the Bliss Hosting File Manager, it’s possible to pick numerous files or folders like you do on your personal computer. Simply hold down the Control (Command for Apple’s Mac OS) key and then click the required files/folders. In case you’d like, to pick a considerable amount of files/folders at once, just click one file/folder, hold down the Shift key and click on any file or folder.

Once you have chosen each of the files that you need, you’re able to drag them into a specified location, or take advantage of the right–click contextual menu to view a list of the available features.

There is a single prevalent technique to protect a folder with a password – by generating an .htaccess file. If, however, you are not technically experienced sufficiently, you’ll have trouble performing it all by yourself. To help with making things easy for you, we have included a convenient–to–use password protection interface to the File Manager available in the Website Control Panel.

To employ the option, simply right–click on a directory and choose Password Protection. After that submit the login name and the password that you’ll want to employ and then click on the button. That’s it. The particular directory is going to be hidden by the general pubic and will be accessible just to authorized visitors.
