title: Laravel 5.1 upload on host
body: <p>I have used the <strong>Laravel 5.1 php framework</strong> to build a web application on my <em>local XAMPP server</em>.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Which files or folders should be uploaded on my shared host server?</li>
  <li>Should the <code>.env</code> file at root be uploaded? </li>
  <li>In this case, if sensitive information such as database connection passwords are in this file, is there a security risk?</li>
  </ol>
