Your website files live in your hosting's public_html folder. Whatever you put there is what shows on your domain. There are two ways to work with them.
From your browser
In your hosting menu, under Website, open Files. It opens in public_html, and from there you upload (drag and drop, up to 512 MB per file), edit, move, copy, compress, extract and change permissions. Deleted items go to the Trash, where you can restore them.
Recommended permissions: folders 755, files 644. Never 777: PHP files with those permissions return error 500.
Over FTP
To upload many files or work from your usual app, connect over FTP with the main account (your hosting username) or an extra FTP account that can only reach one folder. Everything, including the FileZilla settings, is in FTP accounts.
Before big changes to your files, create a backup.
