| To upload your files directly through cPanel one can do this through the File Manager.
To upload a file through File Manager, use the following steps:
- Login to cPanel and click File Manager
- Choose to open Web Root and Show hidden files
- At the top, click Upload.
- Click the Browse button.
- Double click the file you want to upload to your site.
- Wait for the blue bar to complete, then go back to File Manager.
You have successfully uploaded a file to your site through file manager.
How to know the URL once you have uploaded a file?
To share the new web file with friends or the public. First you need to determine the path of the file.
- Login to FTP or File Manager and note the parent folder where your file is stored (normally public_html).
- Double click the folder icon to navigate inside public_html.
- If you see the file here, you are done. If you need to navigate inside more folders to find your file, note each folder. (Folder names are case-sensitive, so you must use the exact capitalization and spelling.)
- Once you locate your file, you should have noted the full path (a list of the folders you must go inside, respectively, to find that file).
- Now simply add the file name, exactly as it appears, to the end of the path. (File names are case-sensitive, so you must use the exact capitalization and spelling.)
Here are some examples:
public_html/My_Book.pdf
public_html/images/banner25x120.JPG
public_html/blog/includes/Movies/bigjump.avi
Almost there! Now you just need to replace "public_html" with http and your primary domain name.
Same examples:
http://primarydomain.com/My_Book.pdf
http://primarydomain.com/images/banner25x120.JPG
http://primarydomain.com/blog/includes/Movies/bigjump.avi
Try to browse these URL's and you will see the file you uploaded.
This can even be done for addon and subdomains. Just replace the public_html/subfolder/ part with the addon or subdomain name.
Let's pretend my addon domain is myblogdomain.com. Let's pretend the document root for that domain is my blog subfolder (inside public_html of course).
A path like public_html/blog/includes/Movies/bigjump.avi would become http://myblogdomain.com/includes/Movies/bigjump.avi
