Applied as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software alternatives, web–based file managers have always been sluggish and poor in capabilities. Still, using the File Manager built in the Renstay Site Control Panel, you will not only have a blazingly fast, responsive and easy–to–use file supervision client, but also an app that will make an external FTP program unnecessary. Consider several of the features that we have integrated into our File Manager.
Drag ’n’ drop file uploads
The least difficult method to upload files
Publishing files with an FTP client is an outdated and really unsafe method for transferring files from your laptop or computer to a web hosting server. By reason of this, we have integrated drag–and–drop data file publish support in the File Manager. Just pull the data files that you want to publish from your desktop computer into your web browser and they’ll begin to upload in your web hosting account through a secure SSL communication.
You don’t need to install any extra software pack, browser add–ons or applications. The drag–and–drop feature performs just as well on Windows, Linux or Mac.
Right–click context menus
Control all files with a click
A large number of File Managers specify all the actions that you can execute within a file or folder on the top of the webpage. We feel that this is just not user–friendly enough. Using the File Manager, you can access all file management options when you right–click a file or folder. This approach is also applicable for numerous files/folders.
You can rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete every file or directory you select with simply a mouse–click.
Archive/Unarchive files
Archive or extract archive files in seconds
Compared with the vast majority of file management user interfaces as well as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) clients, the Renstay Site Control Panel offers an option to archive/unarchive files quicker. It is really well–designed. To get a folder reduced to a lightweight size, just select it and click on the Compress button. To open the contents of an archived directory in your hosting account, choose it and then click the Extract button. The File Manager uses a range of file extensions, including .ZIP, .RAR and .TAR.GZ.
Online file editors
The best method to adjust your files
The File Manager lets you alter your files entirely on the hosting server with no need to download, adjust and re–upload them. You are able to customize your files straight away online, using our included editors. Renstay offers a code editor equipped with syntax highlighting for your .JS or .PHP files, a WYSIWYG editor for HTML files, and a standard text editor for the more experienced end users.
You have access to every file editor making use of the right–click contextual menus. All alterations produced to the files will be shown quickly online – it is possible to directly examine them within your web browser.
A logical folder structure
Your files sorted out inside an uncomplicated approach
When you are working with a couple of web sites at the same time, it is vital that you have every little thing sorted. With many other File Managers, editing a number of websites within the same web hosting account could be very challenging. Using our File Manager, you’ll find that it is actually really simple. Each site features its own folder, that you can immediately recognize, and all the files associated with the specified site are placed there.
And to make everything even easier, you will find there’s a drop–down menu where you can quickly choose on which host you want to work inside the File Manager. Our smart system will lead you there within seconds.

Work with multiple files
Modify a lot of files concurrently
The File Manager can save you a lot of time when making use of many different files. You’ll be able to choose many different files at any given time and apply a desired action to them exactly like you do with your desktop machine or notebook. To pick arbitrary files at the same time, just keep pressed the Control key, and to pick a collection of nearby files, press the Shift key. It’s that straightforward.

By making use of the right–click contextual menu along with the buttons on top of the file table, you can actually apply a number of other actions – it is possible to copy, rename, delete, download and edit your files, change file permissions, etc.
Quick & simple password protection options
The easiest method to guard your information
To password–secure a folder on your web site, you will need to set up an .htaccess file by hand. However, this can be time–consuming and complicated if you aren’t a specialist in computing. Thanks to the File Manager, you can make a password–protected directory and hide all its items from the standard users with just a number of mouse–clicks.
What you need to undertake is right–click a directory, pick out Password Protection and then click the Add selection. Then simply specify a user name along with a pass word.
