Step 3 – Upload the files to the Web server

Upload the Joomla! Core Distribution directories and files as previously described in the Web browser installation method, to the Web root directory or named sub-directory of your Web server, including the newly created configuration.php file, using an FTP client program or your Web hosts control panel if provided. If the installation is on your local computer you can simply copy or move the files to the Web server directory.

The Installation directory is not needed for a Manual Installation so you can delete it and reduce the upload time.
