Upload a File

You can upload files to the hosting facility. This direct access to files on the server gives you the ability to manage files and provides you with a convenient interface for uploading and downloading files.

In the wordlist and dictionary directories, you can upload only those files that already exist in the directory. For example, if you try to upload a file called mydict.txt to the dictionary directory when the actual file is userdic.tlx, an error message displays and the upload does not execute.
Note: Only certain file types can be uploaded through the File Manager. For a list of file types that can be uploaded into each directory, see File Manager Directories.
  1. Select the directory that contains the file from the Switch To drop-down list.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Enter the full path of the file you want to upload in the Upload field.
    • Click Browse to open the Choose File window where you can search your local and network file systems for the file. Select the file and click Open.

    The file path and name populates the Upload text box.

    A file name cannot include spaces or special characters. In addition, a file name that includes uppercase characters is converted to lowercase when it is uploaded. After the file is uploaded, it can be copied with a new name if the file requires a name with uppercase characters. See Copy or Move a File.

  3. Click Go to upload the file to the current directory.

Results:

If the uploaded file has the same file name and extension as the file you want to replace, it automatically overwrites the file. A backup copy of the current file is saved in the backup directory before the file is overwritten.
