Files and Images can be uploaded to yourSportzVault site and are maintained in the File Manager screen. All files and images stored under File Manager are available for use within your web site.
...
Whilst it isn't possible to create sub-folders at the root level, and number of sub-folders (to any depth) can be created within the files and images folders.
File Manager layout
The file manager consists of two sections:
...
- Select the folder to upload the file(s) to.
- Click the
Upload tool (Files toolbar). This will open the Upload window. - Click the Browse button and select the file to upload.
- If the file to be uploaded is a zip file (has a .zip extension):
- If you wish to simply upload the zip file and have it available on the site 'as is', leave the Unzip and delete .zip file after uploading checkbox unchecked
- If you wish to unzip the zip file and have all unzipped files available on the site, check the Unzip and delete .zip file after uploading checkbox. This option will also delete the zip file after unzipping.
- Also see the section Unzipping zip files below for further information about zip files
- If you wish to upload extra files, click the Add file button, then browse and select the file(s). You can upload a maximum of six files at once.
- Click the Upload button. The status of the upload will be displayed on the screen.
- Click the Close button to close the Upload window. The file(s) should now appear within the File Manager.
Unzipping zip files
If you have a large number of Files or Images to upload, and/or file sizes are large (approaching or exceeding the 1MB individual item upload limit) then the files can first be zipped, transferred as a single file, and automatically unzipped after the upload is complete.
Some points to note:
- The zip file must be created using a normal zip file tool (e.g. WinZip or PKZip)
- Any directory information within the zip file is ignored, files are all placed within the Files or Images directory as appropriate
- Files/Images of the same name as those within the zip file will automatically be overwritten. No warning will be given.
- Only Files/Images with legal file extensions will be unzipped - i.e. those with 'Executable' extensions are never unzipped and only .jpg .gif .png extensions are unzipped for the case of an 'Image' upload
- Zip files uploaded for unzipping on the server will always be deleted on the server after unzipping. This is to save your file space.
- If uploading and unzipping a file would result in exceeding your space allowance, the action is not allowed.
Case study: Uploading a large number of images
- Create the zip file using your zip tool. Include as many images (.jpg, .gif, .png) as you like, provided the total uncompressed size of the images does not exceed your space allowance.
- To speed the upload process, select the maximum compression that you can when creating the zip file.
- Follow the instructions above -To upload an Image
Case study: Uploading a large document
- Zip the document using your zip tool.
- To speed the upload process, select the maximum compression that you can when creating the zip file.
- Follow the instructions above -To upload an File, ensure the Unzip and delete .zip file after uploading checkbox is checked
In some cases you may wish to upload a zip file for future download (ie without unzipping). In this case uncheck the checkbox.
Note - most documents compress substantially when zipped. This can substantially reduce the amount of time taken to upload the document to the SportzVault site.
...
Note: You cannot delete the top level files or images folders.
General restrictions
- 'Executable' Files with certain extensions cannot be uploaded (e.g. .exe .bat etc)
- Offensive or pornographic content is not permitted, and can result in suspension or termination of a SportzVault site
- Files up to 5MB in size can be uploaded. Note - uploading a compressed file via a zip file (see below) is a way of getting around this restriction.
- Once your space allowance is exceeded you will not be able to upload further files or images. Also, uploads are not allowed that would cause the allowance to be exceeded. To be able to upload new files, you must first either delete existing files, or contact us to arrange an increase to your space allowance.<rvc:link< li="">
