In this support article, we will guide you through the process of uploading files to cPanel, enabling you to effortlessly add and update your website content.
Step 1: Access cPanel: To begin, open your web browser and enter the URL for cPanel provided by DomainAdda Web Hosting. Typically, it will be something like "https://yourdomain.com/cpanel" or "https://yourIPAddress:2083/cpanel". Replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name or "yourIPAddress" with your server's IP address.
Step 2: Login to cPanel: Enter your cPanel username and password in the designated fields. If you don't have this information, please contact DomainAdda Web Hosting's support team for assistance. Double-check your credentials for accuracy, as they are case-sensitive.
Step 3: Locate the File Manager: Once logged in, navigate to the "Files" section in the cPanel dashboard. Look for an icon or link labeled "File Manager" and click on it. The File Manager provides a graphical interface to manage your website files and directories.
Step 4: Choose a Directory: In the File Manager, you will see a list of directories. Select the directory where you want to upload your files. Typically, it will be the "public_html" or "www" directory, which represents the root folder of your website.
Step 5: Upload Files: After selecting the directory, click on the "Upload" button located in the File Manager toolbar. This will open the file upload dialog. You can either drag and drop files from your local computer to the upload dialog or click on the "Select File" button to browse and choose files manually.
Step 6: Monitor and Manage Uploads: Once you initiate the upload, you will see a progress bar indicating the status of each file. Allow the upload process to complete. For larger files, it may take some time depending on your internet connection speed.
Step 7: Verify Successful Upload: After the upload process finishes, you can refresh the File Manager or navigate to the directory where you uploaded the files. Ensure that the uploaded files are visible in the directory listing. You have now successfully uploaded files to your cPanel account.
Important Tips:
- For website performance and organization, consider placing files in their appropriate directories within cPanel. For example, images can be stored in an "images" folder, CSS files in a "css" folder, etc.
