This is my favorite part of the upload. The cursor lets you know when the file is done uploading, and has a nice little touch.
The main reason is because it’s so easy to see that it’s a pretty easy way to upload the content of your site. You don’t need to copy to the browser to get the cursor.
It’s also a great way to get your content up quickly. As soon as you hit the “upload” button, you can go into your site’s settings and click the “Upload” button.
It’s also pretty cool that you can select the site name in the upload box, and it will automatically replace the URL with the site’s name.
Yes, you can upload files from your computer to your website and that’s also cool. If you’re working with a CMS, you can also upload to a specific folder on your server without having to go through your server settings and copy the contents of the folder to the upload box.
Sure, it does kind of look like you’re just making your own site. But it’s also very useful for those of us who have an existing site and want to upload a file or two to our website. Uploading files is also great for those of us who can’t host their own files on our site, but want to share them with other people.
One easy way to do this is to upload to a folder on your server, and then add your filename (or whatever the file name is) to the upload box. There are a number of ways to do it, but what I prefer is to simply go to your website’s upload box, choose a file to upload, and then drag and drop your file into the box. Your server will automatically be set to upload the file you just dropped in the box.
Another easy way to show how easy this is is to use a plugin. The most popular ones are FileZilla and FTP. FTP is probably the best one to use because it allows for uploads from anywhere on your computer and downloads from anywhere on your server. Also, if you use a site with an FTP-like upload option for some reason, you can use it as well.
FileZilla is a free FTP plugin I use all the time. It is easy to use, even with no coding knowledge, and it works great. Using it isn’t difficult either. It’s just a case of making sure the file you want to upload is in your upload folder. I keep my upload folder to just my pictures and audio files, so I never upload things like video files.
Uploaded files can be any file that can be downloaded from the Internet (a folder, a zip file, a file on your hard drive, etc.) or any file that you put on a server. I know this is not very helpful for any of us, but it is a very common practice, so I’ll elaborate how to use it. You can look at your upload folder and find a file that is in there by using either Windows Explorer or your FTP client.
