How to upload very large file?

If you encounter issues uploading large files through cPanel’s File Manager, there are alternative methods to successfully upload your files.

Use FTP (File Transfer Protocol):

Use an FTP client like FileZilla to upload large files.

Steps to Upload via FTP

1. Download and Install FileZilla:
   • Download FileZilla from FileZilla’s official website.
   • Install the application on your computer.
2. Connect to Your Server:
   • Open FileZilla and enter your FTP credentials (Host, Username, Password, Port).
   • Click “Quickconnect” to connect to your server.
3. Navigate to the Desired Directory:
   • In the remote site pane, navigate to the directory where you want to upload the file.
4. Upload the File:
   • In the local site pane, navigate to the large file on your computer.
   • Drag and drop the file from the local site pane to the remote site pane to start the upload.

Use SSH (Secure Shell) for Large File Transfers

SSH is also a good option for uploading large files.

Steps to Upload via FTP

• SSH Access:
  • If you have SSH access to your server, you can use SCP (Secure Copy) or SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) to upload large files.
• Steps to Upload via SCP:
  1. Open Terminal (Linux/Mac) or Command Prompt (Windows):
     • On Windows, you can use a tool like PuTTY or WinSCP.
  2. Use SCP Command:
     • Use the following command to upload the file:

       scp /path/to/local/file username@yourserver.com:/path/to/remote/directory

  3. Replace /path/to/local/file with the path to your large file, username with your SSH username, yourserver.com with your server’s domain or IP address, and /path/to/remote/directory with the destination directory on your server.

By following these steps, you can successfully upload large files to your server even if the cPanel File Manager has size limitations.
