In the lower left corner of the File Manager screen, add your first file by clicking the "Select" button. To add more files, click the "Add" button to create additional fields. - While it is possible to upload large batches of multiple files, we strongly recommend that you follow these guidelines for a successful upload:
- Using a T1 connection (1.5 Mbps): limit total file batch to 200MB
- Using a cable/fiber connection (3Mbps or faster): limit total file batch to 400MB
- Using a DSL connection (768kbps): limit total file batch to 105MB
- Using a wireless broadband connection (384kbps): limit total file batch to 40MB
- Using a dialup connection (56kbps): limit total file batch to 7MB
- After adding your file(s) to the queue, click the “Upload Now” button. You will see a status indicator while the files are being copied. Upon completion, you will see a success message at the top of the File Manager window. The files are now copied to the web server.
NOTE: if your upload batch contains any JPG image files, you will be asked whether or not you wish to process the images further. You can say OK to this option, if you wish to add the images to a scrapbook or staff directory. Otherwise, just click CANCEL.
