#5 - Uploading files with your File Manager

You can use the File Manager to upload files to your web site, up to 3 files in one go. Although useful, a third-party FTP client such as FileZilla has many more features and does not limit you to the number of files you can upload at one time. Refer to the "Uploading files with FTP" guide for more information.

 

To upload files in File Manager:

1. Login to your Free-Web-Hosting.biz web hosting control panel.
   
   
2. Once logged in, click on "File Manager".
   
   
3. When in the File Manager, click "Upload files".
   
   
4. Browse your computer for the file you want and double-click on it to upload.
   
   
5. Repeat the above steps for each file you want to upload.
   
   
6. Click on the Overwrite existing files tick box if you want to overwrite existing files of the same name.
   
   
7. Click on the Upload button when you have finished selecting files. The contents of the folder is displayed in the main area, including your uploaded files.
