Uploading files to a web hosting server moves website content from a local computer directly into the server's directory. This process is handled using the built-in File Manager, which provides navigation to specific folders. Individual documents or archives can be uploaded directly, provided they are within file size limits. While the web-based uploader is sufficient for most standard website updates, server configurations may impose file-size limits that require an SFTP client for exceptionally large data transfers.
