Getting Started
Log into your Bragghost Client Area and access cPanel from your hosting account from the "Your Products and Services" section. Click the File Manager icon under the Files section. You'll land in the root of your account — most of the time you'll want to navigate to the public_html folder, as this is where your primary website files live and what visitors see when they browse to your domain.
4) Once you're in the File Manager platform, select the Directory you would like to upload too. In most cases, this is Web Root (public_html).
5) Click Upload at the top (pictured below).
6) On the File Upload screen, click the Select File button and select the file(s) you would like to upload from your computer.
In this example, we’re going to select logo.png on our Desktop. You can set the permissions but 644 are the default permissions for files and 755 are the default for directories.
7) Once the file is uploaded, beneath the progress bar, click Go Back. The file will appear in the folder that you uploaded it to. Below is an image of our example:
