The ActiveX File Transfer client uses an interface similar to that of Windows Explorer to transfer files between a PC and
the host. You can only upload one PC file at a time to the host as opposed to the download function which allows you to download
more than one member at a time.
When you upload a PC file to the host, you must:
|
• |
Choose the file format you want by selecting between ASCII or Binary
|
|
• |
Choose the Append option if you want to append the PC file to an existing host file
|
|
• |
Select the host file and/or member
If you select a host file, the host uses the first member in that file as the target member
|
|
• |
Click the Upload button or drag the PC file to the host
|
To upload a file from your PC to the Host, follow these steps:
|
1. |
Expand the directory tree in the PC Files panel on the ActiveX File Transfer control and select the file you wish to transfer.
|
|
2. |
Expand the directory tree on the Host files panel and select one of the following:
|
• |
Select the file in which you wish to place the PC file |
|
• |
If you only select a file, the host uses the first member in that file as the target. You can create either a new member or
a new file and member or use the existing member.
|
|
• |
Select the member you wish to overwrite with the contents of the PC file. |
|
|
3. |
Start transferring the file. You have two choices:
|
• |
Click the PC file in the PC Files panel and drag it on top of the target host file in the Host Files panel.
Note You cannot use the drag-and-drop function when a new member or a new file and member have been created because they don't
exist on the host yet. You must use the Upload button on the toolbar to complete the file transfer.
|
|
• |
With both PC and Host files selected (see Step 1 and Step 2), click the Upload button on the toolbar.
|
The Uploading file dialog box opens to display the progress of the transfer. If you are about to overwrite an existing member,
a dialog box opens to confirm the operation.
|
• |
Click Yes to overwrite the member.
|
|
• |
Click No to cancel the transfer.
|
|
|
4. |
You can click Cancel at any time to terminate the file transfer. |
|
5. |
Once the transfer is complete, the contents of your transferred file should appear on the host in the member you specified. |
