File manager

A file manager is a software tool that provides a user interface to work with computer files.  The most common operations on files are Create, Open, Edit, View, Print, Play, Rename, Move, Copy, Delete, Attributes, Properties, Search/Find.

Typically files are displayed in a hierarchy. File managers may contain features inherited from Web browsers, including forward and back navigational buttons.

Some browsers may also provide network connectivity, e.g. via FTP, NFS or Samba.
