  • If you have cPanel/Plesk or some other similar control panel, you can use the inbuilt file manager to upload the site from localhost. If you have newer versions of a control panel, there is usually a extract zip option that you could also use to upload a zip and extract on the server

    Use of a control panel with a file manager is probably your only option to migrate files without using FTP, and I agree that using ZIP archives is the best way to go. Depending on the size of your localhost site, you may need to break it into multiple ZIP archives because there are limits on the size of files that can be uploaded through a control panel.

    You will also need to create a dump of the WordPress database using the tools available in your localhost install (phpMyAdmin, mysqldump, etc). You can then use phpMyAdmin on the server (usually available through the hosting control panel) to upload the database, or you can upload it using the file manage,r and then use SSH (mysql) to import it.
