Thanks for the tutorial, Travis! I just had to use a full path in config.inc.php "/Applications/MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin/upload", but still it gave me the idea how to accomplish the task ;)

I got the selection dropdown but still got an error message saying there were no files to upload even though I uploaded the files. They were in a folder. I was trying to upload my wordpress website. Which format should I have used?
