Title: Upload Everything? Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Upload Everything? * [emaleth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emaleth/) * (@emaleth) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/) * Okay, maybe I’m just making things out to be more difficult than they seem, but the readme file when you get wordpress tells you at step four to “upload everything”. Does this mean take every file that came with the installation, and put it into your webhosting server? * Because while looking through all the files in all the folders, there are multiple index.php files, and obviously you can’t have more than one. So……what’s goin’ on there? * Sorry.. this must be incredibly n00bish. * Thanks in advance, * Emmy.

If not, try to unzip again and keeping the directory structure. * Thread Starter [emaleth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emaleth/) * (@emaleth) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279748) * Yes, there are four folders and multiple files without a folder. * Do I upload the ones out of the folder and all the ones in seperate folders onto my webhosting server? If so, do I just put them all in different subdirectories? * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279750) * You should upload EVERYTHING as they are! Do you have FTP access and a ftp client? * Thread Starter [emaleth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emaleth/) * (@emaleth) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279751) * Yeah… but it’s not like you can upload a folder. You have to upload the contents of the folder seperatly, and if I were to upload everything from every folder, it’d all be uploaded to one spot on my FTP, and that just wouldn’t work. * Which is why I’m asking, do I need to upload the things that aren’t in a folder, and then the things that are in folders, but them in a SUBdirectory…..? * Thread Starter [emaleth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emaleth/) * (@emaleth) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279752) * PUT*** not but.. * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279753) * In Filezilla, I can highlight all the folders / files then right-click and select Upload. * How are you getting the files there ? * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279754) * What kind of FTP you have? YES, you can upload a folder with a “normal” ftp client. You just highlight all the files and folders and hit “upload”. That’s it. * Thread Starter [emaleth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emaleth/) * (@emaleth) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279759) * I’m using Yahoo as a webhost, FTP, MySQL, PHP – everything. And it doesn’t allow folder uploading. But you have answered my question anyway. Considering you can’t do the folder thing, it must mean that these files need to be kept seperate.. * Thanks for the help =3 * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279763) * _And it doesn’t allow folder uploading_ It’s hard to believe… And the answer is: the folder and file structure has to be EXACTLY the same as you have it on your computer. * Thread Starter [emaleth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emaleth/) * (@emaleth) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279765) * =( * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279767) * Can’t you use FileZilla ? I’m amazed that yahoo won’t let this happen… have you tried their tech support ? After all, WP is tiny compared to some apps. Codex is hosted by yahoo and compared to a WP install, it’s massive. * [attackofthegeek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/attackofthegeek/) * (@attackofthegeek) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279769) * I have yahoo webhosting as well, I think emaleth was talking about the Yahoo Easy Upload Tool..you can only up load 20 files at a time(NOT whole Folders), and if you do it that way, you have to manually create folders and subfolders! * Thread Starter [emaleth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emaleth/) * (@emaleth) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279770) * Everything worked alright..except now I have to deal with a database error. lol * Thread Starter [emaleth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emaleth/) * (@emaleth) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279772) * Lol.. and yeah.. I did it manually like a retard… * [attackofthegeek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/attackofthegeek/) * (@attackofthegeek) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/#post-279773) * don’t know if you know this, but “localhost”, is “mysql”..yahoo is the 1% that had to change this! * I did it manually as well..I wanted to know exactly where everything was..don’t know why tho!!lol Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 26 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Upload Everything?’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) * 26 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [emaleth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emaleth/) * Last activity: [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-everything/page/2/#post-279806) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
