To upload the archive file to your web server:-

• Navigate to the directory where you want to place the archive file.

• In the popup window navigate to the archive file. For example, a typical archive file would have a file extension of .zip, .tar.gz or .tar.bz2.
• Click on the "Okay" or "Save" button to upload the file.

To extract the contents of the archive file:-

• Click on the uploaded file.
• Click on the "Extract File Contents" option on the right. The files will then be extracted.

Notes

• Some versions of cPanel will only overwrite the old files if you have downloaded the tar.gz version of the upgrade package.
