Click and hold the files, then drag them from the local panel on the left to the desired location in the remote server directory on the right panel. Release the mouse to start the upload.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right-click method<\/strong>. Alternatively, right-click on the selected files and choose <strong>Upload<\/strong>. This will transfer the files to the currently open folder in the remote server panel.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>You can monitor the upload progress in FileZilla&rsquo;s bottom panel. Suppose the same file name exists in the destination directory.
