This article has been consolidated

File upload options are covered in our upload guide and FTP guide.

Short answer: No, an FTP program is not required. You can upload files directly through cPanel > File Manager using drag-and-drop. For larger uploads or frequent transfers, an FTP client like FileZilla is more efficient.
