Plesk provides intuitive and powerful tools for managing all the files and directories associated with your websites and hosting account. This robust file management system allows you to effortlessly upload, organize, edit, and secure your web content directly through your web browser, eliminating the need for separate FTP clients for many common tasks.

While you could use FTP or the command line to manage files or folders, Plesk provides a built-in File Manager. With it, you can:

Browse and navigate through your website’s directory structure with ease.
Upload new files and directories directly from your local computer.
Edit existing files using a built-in code editor, which often includes syntax highlighting for various programming languages.
Create new files and directories to structure your content.
Manage file permissions (CHMOD) to control who can read, write, or execute your files, which is crucial for security.
Copy, move, rename, and delete files and folders efficiently.
Compress and extract archives (like .zip files) directly on the server.
