File Manager

PanelAlpha organizes account files in a structured directory layout. Use File Manager to browse, edit, upload, and move files directly in Client Area.
Access to File Manager is controlled by the administrator in Other -> Disable Privileges -> Manage Related Hosting -> Manage File Manager. By default, this feature is enabled for end users and can also be delegated through Shared Access.
