Two ways to move files onto your hosting: the browser file manager and FTP software. Here is when each wins.
The browser file manager (what Kairalmas provides) - Runs in your browser: no software, works from any computer — even your phone - ZIP upload + extract: a whole site lands in one upload - Built-in code editor: fix a typo in seconds - 24-hour version history: restore the file you broke at 1am — FTP has nothing like this - No credentials floating around extra devices
FTP (FileZilla and friends) - Better for MASS transfers: thousands of files resume reliably if the connection drops - Background sync workflows for developers with local build processes - Requires: FTP credentials, a client install, and the security habit of not saving passwords on shared machines
The honest recommendation For 95% of website owners the file manager is superior — especially the ZIP trick (one upload beats five hundred files) and version history (FTP's biggest missing safety net). Keep FTP knowledge for the rare mass-migration day.
The workflow that works 1. Zip your site locally (contents at top level) 2. Upload the ZIP in the file manager 3. Extract → done, live 4. Edits thereafter: file manager's editor + version history
One warning for both methods: case sensitivity. logo.PNG ≠ logo.png on the server — the #1 'worked on my laptop, broken live' cause. Rename before uploading.
