Important: If the datapack downloads as a ZIP file, do not extract it!

Uploading: Stop your server. In the control panel's file manager, locate your world folder. It should have the same name as level-name in the server.properties file. Inside your world folder, you should see a datapacks folder. Open that folder and upload your datapack. If the datapack is in folder format, you will need to upload it via sFTP.
