Hi Martina! The public.html file is located in the server file on the right side of FileZilla (It will say Remote Site at the top). There's a folder you click on in that right column that will provide all the files in your server. There will be one named public_html and that is where you want to move the WordPress files that you've downloaded from your Local Site (the folders in the left column). Hope that helps and if not let me know if you have any additional questions!

Hi Martini,

Further to what Laurie said If you're looking in the top level folder domain (i.e. the root folder) then this is where you will find your public_html folder.

Some host servers will use a different folder as the root folder. I believe for example public_html is the root folder for Linux servers.

If you don't see it try looking out for

  • www

or

  • httpdocs

as your root folder and put your wordpress files in there.

Hope this helps
