View source for Uploading to the wiki and FTP server

You can place files on the wiki directly, on a private password protected spot on the web via FTP or on an open spot on the web via FTP.


=Uploading files to the wiki=

The quickest way to upload files to the wiki is to use the [[Special:MultipleUpload | Multiple Upload]] tool with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2190 DragAndDropUpload] plugin for Firefox. You'll then be able to drag and drop several files at once into the wiki. 

The maximum size of a file to be uploaded is 100 megabytes :-)

==How to use the "upload file" option in the wiki==

# Go to the wiki at http://wiki.orbswarm.com
# Log in or create an account and log in by clicking "log in" in the upper right corner of the page
# Click "Upload file" (traditional wiki upload method) or "Upload multiple files" (the snazzy new way to upload) in the lower left corner of the page.
# Upload the file(s).
# You can then link to the file in your wiki document like so:  <nowiki>[[Image:MyFile.jpg]]</nowiki>. You should be able to upload any file type (jpg, pdf, etc...).

==Uploading files with FTP==

Files uploaded to the FTP server will then be accessible to users of our wiki or [http://blog.orbswarm.com blog]. This FTP account has 100 GB of space for your file transfer pleasure.

0 - Pick an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ftp FTP] client. Some good Windows free FTP clients are [http://winscp.net/eng/index.php WinSCP] and [http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/ Filezilla]. You can also use a [https://webftp.dreamhost.com/ web based FTP client at the FLG wiki's web hosting site]. 

1 - Please use secure FTP. If your secure FTP program gives you any options, select SFTP using SSH2 on port 22. Regular FTP works as well.<br>
