  • Download Files for Editing
    To be able to edit files using an external editor or copy files to another file system it is usually necessary to copy the file to the local file system. To download a particular file, simply press the Download button when focusing on the file. The file will be copied using the "save file" function of the browser.

    When a file is downloaded it will be copied to your edit area, so the version control system can keep track of the changes made to the file. This is important if someone else is committing changes to the file while you are editing the content.

    Upload
    To upload the file back to the SiteBuilder focus on the file and click on the Upload button to browse the local file system for the file to be copied.


    When uploading the file to the SiteBuilder again, it is important to upload the file to the correct position in the file structure, i e focus on the correct file. If you focus on another file in the SiteBuilder file system, that file can be replaced, instead of the one intended.

    To get the right format of the data when downloading and uploading files you should configure the User preferences under the Configuration tab. Choose between UNIX, IBM PC (and compatibles) and Macintosh according to the type of computer you are using.
