it depends on the method you want to to use to upload it to the server. If you are using a FTP client like FileZilla, it will be best to unzip the downloaded wordpress and upload the extracted folder. If you will be uploading via File Manager in cpanel, it is best to upload the zipped file and extract it after the upload. This will prevent you from having to upload each file one after the other. I hope you get my point, feel free to ask any questions about difficulties encountered.

You can also tranfer files from wordpress to , read this www.davinstower.com/2015/03/tranfering-from-wordpress-to-.html?m=1

You didnt move it. Your root directory is Whr u av wordpress.zip nd wordpress. You current av something like:
wordpress.zip
wordpress
Click on d wordpress folder then select all d files nd folders in it and right click then select move. A popup will appear asking u Whr u want to move to with a path like: public_html/wordpress
Just remove the wordpress from d path so that it remains only public_html/ and then click OK.

Your root directory shld look like dis nw:
wordpress.zip
Wordpress (wch shld b empty nw)
Wp-admin
Wp-content
D rest files



Hope u gt it nw. Wud av shown u screenshots Bt am currently on mobile.
