Dear resellers, the Software Developers Department of ResellersPanel is happy to announce that the development of the new File Manager, we recently informed you about, has been now completed and the new software is ready for launch!

The first two servers - to benefit from the new software introduction - will be SupCenter45.com and Supcenter46.com. As of today, all SupCenter45.com and Supcenter46.com users can take advantage of the rich array of options available in the new File Manager already activated in their Web Hosting Control Panel. Within 20 days hence, the new software will be implemented on all servers in our revolutionary reseller hosting network.

This advanced File Manager version was developed by our professionals to suit the utmost requirements for ease, convenience and high-tech features within user-friendly interface. Key basis for its creation was the need for better navigation, time-savier and visualization tools.

Features and functionalities include:


1. Create New File/Folder - In this field you can create new empty files and folders. You can choose either option by selecting the corresponding radio button.
2. Disk Usage - This field provides for you up-to-date graphic and numerical information of how much disk space you have utilized and how much remains free.
3. Quick Links Path - In the previous File Manager version, the history path name, displayed above the panel with your listed files, was static. Here, it is replaced by a dynamic 'quick links' path name, providing for you easy access to each sub-level of your current directory. The 'Quick Links Path' field actually displays the name of the current directory, you have selected by browsing through the folders in the File Listing Panel, in the form of dynamic history path name links.
4. Quick Host Shortcuts - This dropdown enables you to directly select a host from a list containing all your hosted domains and sub domains.

   

   
   
5. File Listing Panel

   5.1. Check boxes - By means of check boxes, in the first column of the File Manager's File Listing Panel, you can select multiple files/folders in order to perform certain actions (Copy, Delete, etc.).
   

   5.2. Type Icons - By means of type icons, this column gives you easy orientation and quick information about the type (folder/file - text, image, archive etc.) of the document related to the icon.
   

   5.3. File/Folder names - Our new File Manager introduces a new approach to the management of your files and folders in the form of intelligent tooltips, providing you with an easy access to all actions that can be performed per selected file/folder.
   

   • File tooltip - is activated upon left-click of the mouse on the name of the file. Opens an Info panel containing details about the file's name, type and size, and two dropdowns. The Permissions dropdown allows you to reset the permissions for the selected file. The Actions dropdown lists all actions (Edit, Copy, Delete, Open in web, View image, Open in WYSIWYG Editor, etc.) that can be performed per selected file.
     
     
   • Folder Tooltip - is activated upon left-click of the mouse on the type icon of the folder and opens an Info panel containing details about the name of the folder, and two dropdowns. The Permissions dropdown allows you to reset the permissions for the selected folder. The Actions dropdown lists all actions (edit, copy, delete, download folder as Zip archive, etc.) that can be performed per selected folder. * Note that, if you click on the name of the folder, instead of the folder type icon, the folder file content will be listed.

   5.4. Actions icons - next to the file/folder names are displayed all action icons available per file/folder - for quick selection of a desired action to be performed for the corresponding file/folder. Each button opens a smart tooltip, showing details for the action that is to be performed.
   

   5.5. File Size - presents information on the size of each file.

   5.6. Permissions - presents information on the current permissions set for each file/folder.

   5.7. Last Accessed/Last Changed dropdown menu - allows you to switch between both options - 'Last Accessed' and 'Last Changed', upon your desire or need to view the corresponding class of information displayed in the last column of the File Manager's File Listing Panel.

   

   
   
6. Actions Toolbar
   

   The actions toolbar contains a convenient set of tools for multiple files/folders editing. You can select a number of files/folders and press any of the buttons available - Move, Copy, Delete, Change Permissions, to perform the according action. If you use the option 'Select All' files/folders, the changes you make will take effect in all files/folders in the current directory.
   

   With the newly added 'Reload' button you can reload the File Manager's File Listing Panel without the need to refresh the whole web page.

   

   
   
7. File Upload Field

   With the new File Manager you can upload an unlimited number of files, without exceeding, however, a total size of 20 MB at once. For your convenience, the file upload boxes have been organized now to appear in an intelligent cohesive order - right after you have filled in a box, the next one will show up.
   

   The new file upload functionality also supports an option to upload .ZIP, .RAR, .TAR.GZ and .GZ archives with automatic unpack of the files/folders in the current directory. In order to upload archived files/folders, you have to browse and select a desired archive, then check the box that will appear - 'Unpack archive after upload'.
   

   

   
   

   Our new File Manager comes as a high response to the needs and expectations of our users for better, easier and quicker navigation between all hosted domains, files and folders. We sincerely hope that the new software will meet the highest demands of all web hosting reseller clients and set a new model in the Control Panel management of our fast developing web hosting branch.
