cPanel Upload Question

What you would need to do is either use a ftp program or if you dont want to do that then I would suggest not to extract the files until you get the file uploaded to the server.

What you do is download the theme on your harddrive dont extract just take the zip file and upload to the server then once its uploaded to the server then extract it hope this helps

Yea, just upload the zipped theme folder. Once it is uploaded, click it and then click the extract button and you are all set.

You can ftp software
to get one you can
go to ever-green-ebiz.com/ebook.html
I do use it and i can reconmend it

Thanks for the replies!
Uploading the zip file then extracting it worked like a charm! Still messing around with cyberduck trying to figure how to upload multiple files when not zipped...
Something else I found was this add on for firefox that allows one click theme uploading:

The reviews aren't very good, but perhaps once updated...?

Hello Sean,
If you are using Hostgator, then open cpanel and go to the file manager. Navigate to the subdirectory you want to upload, and use the upload button at the top of the file manager page to upload your entire ZIP file. Once that is done, look at the upper right side at the top of the file manager page for another button to unzip your ZIP file. It will automatically uncompress your files to the subdirectory you specify. It's a nice feature, and takes a lot less time than trying to FTP individual files.

Probably the best way is still the good old ftp. Try something like filezilla or some other program like this, I am sure that you wont regret this

Yeah do yourself a favor and learn how to use FTP (it's not hard at all). If you're in the business of making websites (to any extent) this will prove invaluable to you in both the short and long term. Filezilla is a great choice (free, opensource).

Hello stiggs,
Here are some easy steps you can take.

1.) Go to your site and login, http://www.example.com/cpanel

2.) When prompted you can enter the username and password for your Hostgator account.

3.) The main page for cpanel will open up, and you want to select File Manager, there are two versions, either one is fine to use.

4.) Inside your File Manager, navigate to the public_html subdirectory (or the www subdirectory) to see all of your files that were previously uploaded.

5.) Select a file you want to change, and use the edit link inside File Manager (usually a button called edit across the top of the page, or a link called edit in the upper right corner of the page).

6.) An editor will open that allows you to type, delete, copy, paste, all of the usual stuff. Save your changes before you exit the editor.

That's it in a nutshell. As soon as you save your changes to the file, it is already live on the Internet in your public_html subdirectory. Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank you.

The only good way to do FTP, in my opinion, is to use CuteFTP. It is very robust. There is a free FTP client called FileZilla. Google it. It's not as user friendly though.

Doing this allows for the ability transfer multiple folders at once.

Also, if you are using Hostgator they do have a 1 click installation of WP.
