How to Upload and Extract a ZIP Archive?

Table of Contents

Softxaa’s managed cloud and managed VPS hosting packages come with our in-house-made web hosting control panel HostPanel management system. This is to ensure that you can manage everything related to your hosting account from an easy-to-use control panel without the need to pay additional licensing fees.

File Manager is an integral part of Softxaa’s HostPanel. You might think that its only advantage over a regular FTP client is the ability to manage files and directories through a browser window, but the fact of the matter is, it has a few other handy features that can be extremely useful in some situations.
