# Upload Page Template using wp-admin (without FTP)?

 * How do I upload a new page template if I don’t have access to the wp-content/
   themes/revolution/ sub-directory via an FTP client? I can only use the wp-admin
   client. I have the OneClick Install plug-in available, if that can somehow be
   used.
 * The person that setup this site created a few page templates, so I basically 
   copied an existing template and changed some sidebar specifications. The new 
   template is on my local PC, and now I need to get it up on the server. Is FTP
   the only way? Or, is there a function in the wp-admin, or a plug-in?-

 * explain what you mean by “dont have ftp access” —
 * do you mean you, personally, dont have access because you dont know the ftp info,
   or that the hosting service doesnt offer ftp access?
 * I ask because the web site in your profile is hosted by a company that clearly
   allows ftp access.

 * Thanks for your reply, whooami. I personally don’t have FTP access. I can only
   use the wp-admin interface, since the person that setup this WP environment can’t
   figure out how to setup my FTP access. And, since he is on holidays until January
   and I’m under a deadline, I’m looking for some creative solutions to this situation.
   I’d like to upload a few new page templates and a few new sidebars.
 * Thanks for any info you can provide.

 * If you dont have ftp access, ie, a username and password that allows it, then
   chances are you dont have any “control panel” access either, since 9 times out
   of 10, that would be the same username/password.
 * Plugins need to be uploaded, either via ftp, or through a control panel (cpanel
   allows uploads, for instance).. but again, that username/password combo is **
   typically** the same as the ftp username/password.
 * Point is, if you cant upload a theme file, how can you expect to upload a plugin?
   And if you can do one, you can do the other — regardless of how you accomplish
   it.
 * I am not familiar with the plugin you mention in your original post (assuming
   its already uploaded).

 * You are right. I don’t have access via FTP or CPANEL at this point. I can install
   plugins through a WP plug-in called OneClick ([http://anirudhsanjeev.org/oneclick/](http://anirudhsanjeev.org/oneclick/))
   that the tech person added to this site. This plugin enables me to install other
   plug-ins or themes, as long as they are zipped.
 * Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 * In case anyone ever needs this info, I found a way to change my default “uploads”
   directory, so at least I can upload new files. Options > Miscellaneous
