# Files

## 1. Archive the files

Go to where your files are stored in your files app and highlight all the files as well as any folders then archive them. (For NodeJS, do not include `.npm` or `node_modules`, those are auto generated, when you start your server and they are usually very heavy, more waste of data transfer for you and slower uploads)

## 2. Upload the archive

Head over to the "File managers" tab for the server and upload the archive.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the archive is > 100 MB, please use [SFTP](/bot-hosting/sftp.md) to transfer the files.
{% endhint %}

Once the archive is uploaded, click on the three dots on the right of the file, and finally click "Unarchive". It could take a few minutes to load and successfully unarchive your archive to load up the file, once it's done, you are good to go.

(Make sure to delete the archive file afterwards to reduce disk usage for your server)
