The BeachBum Hosting File Manager
A File Manager brimming with all the software tools you could need

Used as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software substitutes, web file management tools have always been slow and poorly featured. Nonetheless, when using the File Manager featured in the BeachBum Hosting Website Control Panel, you won’t only employ a fast, intuitive and easy–to–use file management interface, but also an application that will make an external FTP program unnecessary. Have a look at several of the functions that we have built–into our File Manager.
Drag ’n’ drop file uploads
The easiest method to add files
Importing files with an FTP tool is an outdated and quite an unsafe method for transmitting data files from your personal computer to a server. This is why, we have included drag’n’drop data file upload support in the File Manager. Simply pull the files that you want to upload from your computer into your web browser and they will start to upload in your web hosting profile over a risk–free SSL communication.
There is no need to deploy any additional computer software, web browser plug–ins or apps. The drag & drop feature operates equally well on Windows, Linux or Mac.
