The “File Manager” interface allows you to manage all your files and folders. You can Create, Edit, Upload, Download & Remove files & folders.

Step 3:

Click or double click the “public_html” folder/icon.

Step 4:

Now you are inside the “public_html” directory. Click the “Upload” icon to upload your website. All your website files and folders will be uploaded here.

Step 5:

You can drag and put your files and folders directly into the dotted-border area.
The second way to upload your files and folders is by clicking the “Select File” and browse the location.
You can also upload the Zip File of your website files and folders and then extract the Zip File in the “public_html” directory.
Once you upload your website go back to “public_html” directory and see whether your files and folders are uploaded or not.
Open your website on a browser to see whether it is live on internet or not.
