  6. Once inside the folder, click on Upload located at the top toolbar.

cPanel is a web-based control panel used by many web hosting companies to manage websites and server configurations. One of the features included in cPanel is the File Manager, which allows users to manage files and folders on their web hosting account without the need for FTP or SSH access.

To access the cPanel File Manager:

  1. Log in to your cPanel account with your username and password.
  2. Navigate to the “Files” section and click on “File Manager”.
  3. Select the directory you want to manage. You can choose to manage the root directory or a specific subdirectory.
  4. Use the File Manager interface to upload, create, edit, rename, move, or delete files and folders.
  5. You can also change file permissions and view file information, such as file size and last modification date.

The cPanel File Manager is a useful tool for managing files and folders on your web hosting account, especially if you don’t have access to FTP or SSH. However, it may not be as powerful or flexible as some dedicated FTP or SSH clients, so you may need to use those tools in some cases.
