Folders

The Folders page displays a table that shows all of the contents of a single folder. The initial folder that you view depends on your organization's setup. You can also display other folders to which you have access. Your home folder will usually have your username as its title, and will be located in the organization's top-level Home folder.

The example below shows the contents of the "kris" folder. The name of the folder you are currently viewing displays at the top of the page. "/" is the root folder for your organization.

You can quickly view other folders by using the Go to Folder drop-down menu, or if you want to search for a folder, use the Find File/Folder tool.

A list of the currently selected folder's contents display in a large table. Each line in the table contains a file, a subfolder or a virtual folder. If you have proper permission, you can Add a Folder to create sub-folders.

The number of items that display on a single page is set by your administrator. Page navigation links display if the number of items exceeds the per page limit.

The table contains details about each file, subfolder and virtual folder. See View Folders for a description of each field.

Click any column header to sort the list by the values in that column.

Depending on your permissions, you may also see action buttons in each row:

Delete a folder or file

Edit a folder's permissions and settings (available only to users with proper permissions)

Download a file

Use the selector tool at the top of the table to quickly select All files, only New files, only Old files, or None to deselect all files. Similarly, you can select All folders, only Empty folders, only Not Empty folders, or None to deselect all folders.

After selecting folders and files, you can perform the following actions using the buttons beneath the table, depending on your permissions:

• Delete selected folders and/or files after a short confirmation.
• Send selected files in a new package.
• Download selected folders and/or files to download using the MOVEit Download Wizard (available only when ActiveX or Java Wizard is enabled, not available when the JavaScript Wizard is enabled). If folders are checked, these folders, all their subfolders and all files in these folders are downloaded.

  Note: For WebPost and Archived Logs folders, selected files will download as a single bundle file using the As Format option to determine the format of the resulting file. This download process does not use the MOVEit Download Wizard.

• Download All webpost files in the folder as a single bundle file using the As Format option to determine the format of the resulting file. This download process does not use the MOVEit Download Wizard.
• Copy selected folders and/or files to another folder (the originals remain intact), or to the same parent folder (the copy will be created with a new name, appending "Copy" to the old name, to differentiate it from the original). Click Advanced Copy/Move Options for more control over how folders and files copy.
• Move selected folders and/or files to another folder. Click Advanced Copy/Move Options for more control over how folders and files move.

A Thumbnail File List button may display beneath the table, which allows you to switch to a thumbnail view of the folder's contents:

After clicking Thumbnail File List, you see files display in thumbnail view:

Under each thumbnail, the name of the file displays along with two links:

• Open pulls up the normal file view
• View Full Size downloads the complete file and renders it in the browser

Click Return to Normal View to return to the text-only file list.

Upload a File

Depending on your permissions, you may also be able to Upload a File from the bottom of the page. If you have installed the Upload Wizard (ActiveX or Java), you can Launch the Upload Wizard:

See Upload Files Using the Wizard.

If the Upload Wizard is not installed, you can upload a file by clicking Choose File (or Browse):

See Upload a File Without the Wizard.
