HOME » Shared Files

The shared files module allows for the private and protected distribution of files.

Users are given permission to download files. These files are protected and can only be downloaded once logged in.

1. Login and enter the Admin Panel.

2. Click on the Shared Files Icon in the Manage>>Create>>Delete box.

Adding Files one at a time

Look for:

File Manager - Open File Manager

Click on the Open File Manager link.

You have just opened the file manager. From here you can edit,add and delete files and directories.

To add a file look for the browse button at the top right of the file manager window. Click the browse button and locate the file on your computer. Double click the file you wish to upload. Once you've chosen your file click the upload file button. Once the file is done uploading you'll notice it in the file list to the left.

*Note- just b/c you upload a file doesn't mean that your users will be able to download it. You must give them permission still.

To Edit or Delete a file look for the edit and delete icons in the file list. The edit icon looks like a hand holding a pencil and the delete icon looks like a hand drawn x. Click on the respective icons and follow the instructions.

Adding a bunch of files at once

Use the zip upload. Create a zip file with all the files you want uploaded to the server. Browse to your zip file and then click the upload zip button.

* Note- If you want your files to show up in the root directory, do not add any directories in the zip.

You can add or remove as many files as you wish at the same time.
If you have directories of files, you can click the + or - sign to check all or uncheck all from every file in that directory.
There are check all and uncheck all links at the top of the directory tree. These links will effect every file in the shared files directory.
