**3.** In cPanel File Manager, navigate to the directory where you want to upload your files to. For example, should you wish to upload your files to the public HTML directory, you must first go to <mark style="color:orange;">`/public_html`</mark>. On the left side, in the list of directories, double click on the **public\_html** directory.
