Option 1: File Manager (Quick & Easy)
cPanel's built-in File Manager lets you upload, edit, and organise files directly in your browser — no software needed.
- From your dashboard, click cPanel
- Open File Manager from the Files section
- Navigate to
public_html— this is your website's root directory - Use the toolbar to Upload, New File, New Folder, or right-click any file to edit it
Tip: The code editor supports syntax highlighting for PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Option 2: FTP (For Bulk Uploads)
FTP is best when uploading many files at once, such as a full website. Use a free FTP client like FileZilla.
