Uploading a large number of times usually takes a lot of time. Your computer and server traverse through and make multiple connection attempts to upload each file. This takes a lot of time when you have thousands of files.
To upload them quickly, you can archive them in a .zip file and upload the .zip file using built-in tools or FTP.
Compress the Files in an Archive Before Uploading
When uploading a large number of files:
- Create a
.ziparchive (not .tar.gz) of the files. - Upload the archive using File Manager or FTP.
- Uncompress it using File Manager.
Right-click on the archive and click "Uncompress" in File Manager.
Or, select the file and click "Uncompress" from the toolbar in File Manager.
Uploading a single .zip file is faster than trying to upload individual files. You can also limit the number of FTP connections instead.
