To upload the generated code to your server, you could use an FTP

client, for example
32

[FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/download.php). However,
33

this could cause problems if you're not super careful. For example, you
34

might accidentally overwrite your server-side configuration files, or
35
+
you might upload files to the wrong directory structure. In addition,
36
+
AppGini creates many files and directories. But many of them are
37
+
unchanged from one generation to another. So, you might end up
38
+
unnecessarily uploading many files that are already on the server.
