**How to use:**
1. Drag and drop the "Upload Files" activity onto the workflow.
2. Configure the properties by specifying the FTP server credentials, local source files, server path, and optional delay.
3. Set the Overwrite property to decide whether to overwrite existing files with the same name in the destination location.
4. Execute the workflow to upload the specified files from the local system to the FTP server.

**Example:**
Consider an example where the "Upload Files" activity is used to upload files "uploadfile.docx" and "image.jpg" from the local system to the "/UploadFile" directory on the FTP server:

```plaintext
Upload Files:
  Delay: 0
  Password: "your_password"
  User Name: "your_username"
  Host: "ftp.yourftpserver.com"
  Source Files: new List<string> { "D:\\UploadFile/uploadfile.docx", "D:\\UploadFile/image.jpg" }
  Server Path: "/UploadFile"
  Overwrite: true

In this example, the activity uploads files from the specified local paths to the "/UploadFile" directory on the FTP server. The Overwrite property is set to true, allowing files with the same name in the destination location to be overwritten.
