Or select the folder on your local machine, drag and then drop it into the interface.
You will see a green progress bar indicating the status of the upload.
Click the Go Back to “/home/username" below the interface to get back to cPanel's File Manager.
Once there, ensure that you are in the right directory.
Select to highlight the compressed files and then click on the Extract button seen in the top left corner of the File Manager toolbar.
