The FileManager helps you to administrate your files via your Servage control panel - without the need to use an additional tool. The FileManager can be found in your Servage account under “Files” -> “FileManager”. When you enter this section of your control panel, you can see an elaborated Tool which shows you:
A) The Directory Tree of the files in your Servage on the left side.
B) On Top of the FileManager, you find a fancy tool bar which allows you to adminstrate files (upload, download, alter, rename, change etc.) via the FileManager.
Here are some examples of operations you can perform via this tool:
