The files on your computer are shown on the left, files on the webserver are shown on the right. Your site is stored in a folder in your home directory. Double click on your site folder to go into it.

Using the navigation tools on the left side, go to the directory where your sitte files are stored. Select the ones that you want to upload to the site. When you have the files selected, press the "F5" button, or use the mouse and click "Copy."

Step 5

You’ll see a confirmation window similar to the following. Click "Copy" to continue.
