# How to Upload Files with cPanel File Manager

**In short:** Log in to cPanel, open **File Manager**, go to **public_html**, click **Upload**, then select your files or drag and drop them. When the progress bar turns **green**, the upload is complete.

cPanel File Manager lets you upload, edit and delete your website files from the browser. Your site configuration may require files in a different folder than described here; if you need help with your code or content, consult your web developer.

1. Log in to cPanel (see [how to log in to cPanel](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/how-to-log-in-to-cpanel/)).
2. In the **Files** section, click **File Manager**.

3. Open **public_html**, the main folder of your website.

**Tip:** for many files, upload one .zip file, then right-click it in File Manager and choose **Extract**. For large sites, [FTP](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/upload-files-via-ftp/) is faster.
