The File Manager function allows you to take full control of your website files. It is a safe alternative to full shell access for sophisticated users. You can copy, move, delete, rename and edit files, create and remove directories, change file permissions and upload files from your local computer to the server.
File Manager is best used to manipulate files that have been previously uploaded to your website. To upload more than one file at a time, an FTP client is generally more efficient.
PHP is a programming language originally designed for producing dynamic web page content, similar to ASP or ColdFusion. The PHP Manager lets you determine what version of PHP you would like to use. The two PHP versions available are 4.4.1 and 5.3.28.
To switch between versions of PHP:
Note about the .htaccess file and PHP 4:
If you are using PHP 4, an entry is placed in your .htaccess file to enable it. If you copy over your .htaccess file, or remove the additional lines which have been appended, then your site will revert to using PHP 5.
If you want to use Microsoft FrontPage to develop your website, you must first install FrontPage extensions. The FrontPage Manager function will automatically install the 2002 extensions for you.
MS FrontPage restrictions
Installing the FrontPage extensions will remove some advanced administrative functions. This is done intentionally so that FrontPage users do not corrupt their sites. FTP access is removed for this reason. Upon your request, we can restore your FTP access.
The applications disabled are: Business Card, Plug-in scripts, File Manager, Website Security and Database Manager.
Directory specific FTP allows you to give a user FTP access to a specified directory of your website. Using an FTP client, the user will be able to upload files to your website and download files from your website. For each user, you may grant FTP access to only one directory. The user will have access to all directories that are located below this directory. Anonymous FTP allows users to download files from a specific directory without a password.
An FTP user will not have access to any other part of your website or other applications within the Online Presence Platform.
Database Manager is a web based MySQL client that allows you to create and manipulate a maximum of two MySQL databases.
Database Manager is designed for advanced users. Knowledge of relational databases and SQL is required in order to use this Database Manager efficiently.
Database Manager is best used for creating databases and tables. For populating a database, you should consider using a script(PHP, ColdFusion) or CGI.
Database Manager builds SQL statements from the various options that you select. This is the reason for the 'Build SQL Query' button. Viewing the Query gives you an opportunity to review the query before running it. Clicking the 'Run SQL Query' button submits the query to the SQL server.
You can find more information about MySQL database at:

phpMyAdmin is a PHP tool, designed to handle the administration of MySQL databases using a web browser interface. It can create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields, execute any SQL statement, manage keys on fields, manage privileges, and export data into various formats.
The phpMyAdmin application is an installation program which will allow you to quickly and easily install phpMyAdmin for use on your website.
The Log Manager allows you to obtain raw server logs about your site activity and traffic. You can view and/or delete, print, download, and date your log files. You may disable logging altogether to conserve your disk space.
Your server logs can also be downloaded for use with other statistics packages.
You can use the Web Stats function to analyze and view your log files in an easy-to-read, graphical display. While Log Manager allows you to manage your log files and view them in their raw state, Web Stats makes them human readable.
