If so, upload the template files to the templates folder where you installed craft. The templates will have to be edited to bring in your sections, entries, and content that you add in the Craft dashboard.</p>

<p>Do you have shell access (like SSH)? On an Ubuntu Server (and others), you typically have the following path to the html documents:</p>

<pre><code>/var/www/html/&lt;yourwebsite-folder&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>As Indigo Viking stated correctly, the details on how to do this vary based on your setup, i.e. your server setup, your virtual host setup on the server and your craft installation.</p>

<p>With Craft 3, there is a "templates" folder inside the "craft" folder where you could put your template. But in order to dynamically display content from the cms, you need to setup Craft in the Controlpanel with fields and sections and add Twig code to the template pages.</p>
