Moving files from your local system to the server

Moving files from your local system to the server is called uploading . Files are uploaded to the server for use on your Web site or sites.

Note: If you are uploading files from a Windows system, be aware that the File Manager performs binary transfers; that is, it does not convert Windows text format to UNIX text format. HTML files will not be affected; however, scripts might not work properly when transferred. To ensure that scripts work properly, use FTP to upload script files, rather than the File Manager.

To upload a file to the server:

  1. In the Upload File to section of the File Manager, enter the complete path name of the file in the upload field.

    2. To locate the file in your file system, click Browse .

  2. In the save as field, enter the name of the file you want to upload to the server.

    3. Do not include the directory path; only the file name.

  3. Click Upload .
