Upload File

Uploading files using OmniUpdate is easy. Images and other binary files (like PDFs, videos, flash files, etc.) are uploaded to the production server by default -- these files never exist on the staging server. Web pages and other editable text files (like HTML, XHTML, PHP, CSS, XML, etc.) are uploaded to the staging server and must be published before going live to your production web server.

Uploading File(s)

To upload file(s), begin at Content tab > Pages. Then, navigate to the location on your site where you plan to upload your files. This is very important. OmniUpdate will upload your files in the directory you see open on your screen. Once within the desired directory, click the "Upload" button. The file upload menu appears. Click to browse your local files and select a file you want to upload. Repeat this process to upload multiple files simultaneously.

If desirable, rename your file. Next, set permissions for your file. Level 9 and 10 users can set permissions to any available group, all other users must choose from any group they belong. Finally, level 8 users and higher can overwrite existing files of the same name by clicking the "overwrite" checkbox.

Click submit and your file(s) will be uploaded.

The ability to upload files is available for users with permission level of 6 or above. Users with permission level 8 or above have the authority to overwrite an existing file. The process begins by selecting the "Pages" tab under the "Contents" tab and performing the following procedure:

Note: All binary files (images, documents, PDF's) are uploaded directly to the target production server. All editable files (HTML and text) are uploaded initially to the OmniUpdate staging/application server and must adhere to the approval process prior to being published to the target production server. Select the appropriate view of Staging Server or Production Server in the "Pages" tab to confirm that files have been uploaded properly. Below are a list of files types that can be uploaded to the staging server:
