Now on the remote site window, inside app/code directory, create a folder named Magenest and go inside it. Now on your local site window, right click on Wrapper extension and click Upload. The extension will be uploaded onto your host in a few minutes.
Now, using your Command line/Terminal, log into your ssh server, go to your Magento root directory, say it's named magento2, and execute the following commands:
cd ..
