Using an FTP program, upload all the files inside the “Upload” folder to your web server. I would recommend FileZilla FTP, download here.
All files go inside your website’s main directory folder.
If this is your primary domain, the files go inside “public_html” folder.
If this is an add-on domain then the files go inside “public_html/youraddondomain.com”
If this is a sub-domain then the files go inside “public_html/sub.yourwebsite.com”
