All web hosting accounts are handled from a Control Panel and no matter the brand of the latter, you can always find a File Manager tool, which allows you to look into the files that you've uploaded in the hosting account and to perform basic operations with them, such as moving, copying or deleting. With respect to the particular tool, there may be more advanced functions too, including control over permissions and archives. Some Control Panels are simpler to use compared with others and so are their File Manager sections. Since this is the primary tool that you'll employ to control your files, it is crucial to check in advance what options it provides and if it'll work for you, because a hard-to-use File Manager can be a burden and can make managing your online presence more challenging.
