The file manager is an alternative to the FTP protocol and has some advantages:
- Uploading files to the server as an archive, as well as its further unpacking
- Visual code editor
- Count size of selected files
- A clear view of the owner of files and folders, as well as the date and time of the last change
Like an FTP user, there is also the ability to edit permissions on files and folders. It gained its popularity due to the fact that you can download the entire site at once in the archive and unpack it in the future, which is much faster than copying each file individually, especially if there are thousands or tens of thousands.
