To rename a file or folder, select one from the folder listing above (use a tickbox).

You have selected the secretary/cic_records folder.

Drag the files to be uploaded from your computer file system to the grey window, or click the grey window for a file browser.
Press the 'refresh the page' button' to check that the upload is complete.
Drag and drop does not work on all browsers; it works on most modern browsers.
If it fails to work, use 'upload a file' instead.

To update a file, simply ensure that the name of the file you are copying from (on your computer) is the same as the file you want to update in the folder listed above.
You need to select a file (see above) before you can update it.

To upload a folder, you have several options.

• use 'upload a file'
• use Windows Explorer
• use FileZilla
• other FTP programs

use 'upload a file'

You can use the 'upload a file' feature (above). The disadvantage of this is that you can upload only three files at a time, so uploading large folders can be rather labour intensive.

use Windows Explorer

If you use Microsoft Windows, you can use Windows Explorer for this:

• Open two copies of Windows Explorer.
  This is a standard Windows application and will be somewhere in the programs menu.
  Note: this is NOT Internet Explorer.
• Position and resize their windows so that they are both visible at the same time. For example: have one on the left half of the screen and the other on the right half.
• Use the left-hand copy of Windows Explorer to see the file system on your local machine.
  View the folder whose files you want to transfer.
• Use the right-hand copy of Windows Explorer to see the file system on the remote machine:
  • In the address bar, type the ftp address for your web site. This won't necessarily be derived from your domain name. For example, it might be something like ftp://ftp1.interdns.co.uk/.
    (This is the Internet address of the FTP server used for updating your domain. You can get this information from your ISP - Internet Service Provider.)
  • A login window will appear.
  • Input the UserName and Password you have been given for your site (by your ISP).
  • Use normal browsing to view the folder where you want to transfer the files.
• Now drag and drop (or copy and paste) the files you want to transfer.

If you have a different operating system, you may be able to use its native FTP program to achieve the same effect.

use FileZilla

FileZilla is a program which runs on your computer to enable you to make FTP transfers (FTP = File Transfer Protocol). When you have installed it, it works in a similar manner to Windows Explorer (see above).

other FTP programs

If you have a smartphone, you won't be able to use FileZilla, but there will some other FTP program you can use. Just look on the Web.
