This is Broken
The file manager in cPanel, which you should really not use because your web browser shouldn't be your code-editor, in my opinion, has a bad set of buttons.
Look at the Upload and Download Buttons.
The Upload Button has an arrow pointing down. The Download button has an arrow pointing down. (Or presumably, at the user.)
It's not the Download button that is broken. It makes sense if you think that the download button is grabbing a file from the *world* wide web and bringing it down the pipes to you.
But the upload button isn't broken either. It makes sense if you think that they upload button is taking a file and putting it in the folder that you're currently working in, (The name of which is right below the downward pointing arrow.)
But when you put the two buttons together, neither one really makes sense.
Suggested fix: Just like in literature, UI's shouldn't mix metaphor. Pick one or the other.
