Applied as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software alternatives, web file management tools have always been slow and poor in capabilities. Nevertheless, using the File Manager integrated in the AngelStarHosting Web Hosting Control Panel, you won’t only employ a blazingly fast, responsive and easy–to–work–with file administration client, but also an application that will make a third–party FTP application unnecessary. Consider a few of the features that we have included in our File Manager.
