Assuming I have already unzipped and extracted the vBulletin files on my local hard drive.

1) Browse to the upload folder (open it)

2) Select All Files and Folders

3) Using a zip program such as 7zip, Add All Files to a New Zip File (upload.zip)

4) Upload upload.zip to my forum root directory on my host (via FTP)

5) Using cpanel file manager browse to upload.zip and extract all files to the directory it is in. It will automatically replace all existing files if there are new ones in the zip.

6) Delete upload.zip

7) Run upgrade script, proceed as normal.

It's much faster to upload 1 zip than thousands of small files and the unzipping process on the server is ultra-fast.

Might try this next time. Thanks
