You should
not need to set up FTP accounts or install a standalone FTP client, cpanel provides a web interface for uploading files one-by-one. I wouldn't consider deploying an entire site that way but you only need to upload a couple of files so it will be fine.
- Create a file called "index.html" locally based on Rathji's code example
- Log into your cpanel
- Open up the "File Manager" cpanel app
- browse to your web root (probably "public_html" or "www")
- click "Upload" in the toolbar
- browse to your files and upload them
Be aware that many hosts put a default "index.html" that you'll have to overwrite.
