Uploading files to the Web server using a Web browser is a convenient way to update files. If you have a large number of files to transfer to the Web site, it's best to use application software especially designed for transferring files via FTP.

Users can upload (copy) files to the Web server using a Web browser if

•	the user is a registered user with the appropriate access privileges to the Web folder (or to another folder inside the Web folder) or guest access has been enabled to the Web folder
•	the Upload Plugin is in the Plug-Ins folder on your Web server

IMPORTANT: Different browser programs treat files differently. Netscape Navigator only copies the data fork of a file. Internet Explorer encodes files using MacBinary and copies both the data and resource forks.

To upload a file to a Web folder on the Web server:

1	Connect to the computer that has the files you want to upload, open a Web browser program, and type the following in your browser's URL address box: http://yourservername/.upload
	Replace "yourservername" with the domain name or IP address of your Web site. If you're uploading files to a specific folder, add a "/" and the folder name, for example: http://yourservername/folderA/.upload
	If you have one Web site, files are copied to the default Web folder. If you have multiple sites, files are copied to each site's Web folder.
2	Locate the file that you want to copy to the server.
3	Click Send File.

Handling files with duplicate names

You can choose whether a file you copy to the Web server replaces an existing file with the same name. If you have multiple Web sites, you can set this option separately for each site.

If you choose not to replace existing files, you can't copy a file that has the same name as an existing file. You may be able to copy the file to a different folder.

To choose how to handle files with the same name:

1	Open a Web browser program.
2	Type the following in your browser's URL address box: http://yourservername/pi_admin.upload
	Replace "yourservername" with the domain name or IP address of your Web site.
3	Click a button to indicate whether you want to replace existing files with the same name.
