All web hosting accounts are handled through a Control Panel and regardless of the brand of the latter, you can always find a File Manager tool, which allows you to look at the files that you have uploaded inside the hosting account and to execute simple operations with them, such as moving, copying or deleting. Depending on the specific tool, there may be more complex functions also, such as control over permissions and archives. Several Control Panels are simpler to use compared to others and so are their File Manager sections. As that's the primary tool you will use to control your files, it is important to check in advance what options it includes and if it will work for you, because a hard-to-use File Manager can be a burden and can make managing your web presence more difficult.
