Step 7. In the left pane, select the files to upload. Right-click and choose Upload. The files will be transferred to the remote server. You can remove default web files. If you were to upload a file index.html within the web folder of your website yoursite.com, then when someone tries to reach either yoursite.com or www.yoursite.com, then they would be automatically displayed the content of the index.html file. This happens since our server treats the index.html as the home page or default page for this directory.
Similarly, if you were to upload an index.html file within the /web/blog folder, then when someone types yoursite.com/blog or www.yoursite.com/blog, then they would be automatically displayed the content of the index.html file within the plants folder.
Now, if you were to upload two or more files from amongst the list given above, then the one mentioned higher in the order would be considered as the home page. So in the event that there exists an index.php and index.html file within the same folder, then the index.php file will get considered as the home page.
