To manage my blogs I usually use external FTP, if you don’t know what is FTP (an acronym for File Transfer Protocol), it’s a tool to transfers data & files inside computer to another computer or to web server. Generally I use it to transfer WordPress plugins or WordPress themes I downloaded from the net to my web server. And there are many FTP on the net, mostly are free to download, but the one I like and use is Filezilla, because it’s powerful, easy to use and user friendly interface.
A site manager is provided by FilleZilla to save logins activities and connection details, you can also customize independently the Explorer style interface, this interface is for showing the remote and local folders.
