  3. Open a second File Explorer and navigate to the folder where you've store the files you want to upload
  4. Select the file(s) you want to upload in your local File Explorer window and drag them to the other File Explower window where you did the FTP connection
  5. Watch the progess bar until the transfer is complete
  6. Upload complete! You'll see your files in the window
