How to Upload a File Using the cPanel File Manager

You can upload files to your GreenGeeks account using an FTP program, but if you prefer a web-based alternative, there is a File Manager built into cPanel.

To access the File Manager, log in to GreenGeeks and access your cPanel. Locate the Files section, and click the File Manager option.

When you log in to the File Manager, you will be in the root directory for your account. Most of the time, you’ll be working with website files, and they are located in the “public_html” directory.

To Upload a File to the cPanel File Manager

Access the folder that you wish to upload a file to. Once there, click on the “Upload” button in the top toolbar.

A new browser tab will open for file upload. Drag and drop the file to be uploaded, or click the “Select File” button.

If you are replacing an existing file, check the “Overwrite existing files” box (if you don’t check the box, you will get a pop-up asking if you want to overwrite the existing file). You can upload files up to 100 MB in size using File Manager. For larger files, use FTP.

  1. I just want to figure out after I get the file there which is easy how do I know the address to use the file as a link. I try view and copy paste but after a day or two it wont link to the file anymore. very annoying.

  2. Any easy way to upload a folder structure with files instead of just individual files ?
