1. Go to your hosting file manager and zip files. In this case we will need to download one file only. Select all files and folders, make zip file. Please note that your hosting file manager may not have ability to zip file. In this case you will need to download files via FTP.

6. Edit configuration.php file. You can edit it directly using cpanel (in case such option is available) or just download file and edit it in your favorite editor. You need to set database access details and path to tmp and logs folders. Set database details and change log and tmp folders path. You can contact your hosting provider regarding correct path.
