I have a droplet with Cyberpanel installed. In that cyber panel, I have 4 WordPress websites already installed. But I want one more to create. I need to upload my previous website file. The file size is almost 3GB and I’m unable to upload this type of large file.

Hi there,

Usually increasing the PHP upload limits should fix such problems. You can do that by editing the php.ini file used by your CyberPanel to increase the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size values to exceed the size of the file you are trying to upload.

You might also have to increase the max_execution_time and max_input_time in the php.ini file to allow more time for the upload to process.

However, in your case, the file is very large, so uploading it directly via your browser is not very recommended. What you could do instead is to use an SFTP client like FileZilla to upload the file directly to the server:
