This application can be used instead of or along with your FTP client to navigate your home directory and manage its content. WebShell allows you to copy, move, delete, and rename files and directories in your home directory on the server. Also, you can use it to upload, download, compress and uncompress files as well as preview them in the browser.

To launch WebShell, click the File Manager icon.

Using this tool, you can password-protect any directory you own. This will prevent users from viewing the contents of a directory unless they have permission. You can authorize any number of users for each directory.

Utilities in the Stats section allow you to monitor your web site statistics and generate webtrends reports, such as visits and hits to your web pages, traffic usage, etc.

Information about the operation of your site is critical for decision-making. To obtain this information, you need to analyze statistics data that is written to log files in your home directory on the server:

Error log - stores data about errors generated by the server (e.g. Page Not Found error) or by your CGI scripts;
Transfer log - stores combined data about every visit to your site, including:
- Remote host IP (i.e. visitor's IP);
- Time of request (i.e. when visitor requested the page);
- First line of request;
- Error generated by request, if any;
- Size of message sent in response to the request;
- Referrer (i.e. from which page visitor was directed);
- Agent ID (i.e. type of browser or another agent and related information, such as user's OS, etc.) ;
Referrer log - stores the list of URLs from which visitors are referred to your site; and
Agent log - stores data about agents used to enter the site -- such as browsers or any other Internet-based software -- and all related data.
Writing log files can be enabled or disabled on the Web Options page.

The statistics data in the log files is difficult to read. Web analyzers will read log files to produce visual reports in HTML format for viewing through a browser.

To enable these analyzers and view statistics reports for your sites, do the following:

Click the Stats icon to go to the Statistics page.
Enable ModLogAn or Analyzer for this domain.
Click the Apply link on the right of this domain.
Click the View icon to see your statistics report.
