> # Uploading Files

> You can upload files from the local host to the remote host two ways:

> - To Upload a File Using the Upload Button.
> - To Upload a File Using the Drag and Drop Feature

> The upload file size limit is set by your administrator in the NetFile service in the Sun Java System Portal Server administration console.

> ### To Upload a File Using the Upload Button.

> 1. Select the required folder on the system to which you want to upload a file, and click Upload.

> The Choose Upload File dialog is displayed.

> 2. Locate the file on the local system that needs to be uploaded.

> The selected file name appears in the Local File field.

> 3. Upload the file with a different name if required. Type the new name in the Upload File As field.

> By default, the file is uploaded with the same name as the local file.

> 4. Click OK.

> The File Upload status window appears and shows the status of the upload.

> NetFile copies the file's contents from your system to the remote system, if you have write permission to the remote system. The status window reflects the upload status.

> If a file with the same name exists at the destination, NetFile prompts you to either rename or overwrite the file.

> You can check the results of your upload in the file display pane. For example, if you upload a file called xyzsupport.htm to the data folder, it will appear in the file list for that folder. If you upload the changed version of an existing file, you can check the new value in the Size column, and the time and date stamp in the Modified column.

> Tip | If your file does not appear in the file display pane, choose Refresh from the View menu.

> ### To Upload a File Using the Drag and Drop Feature

> 1. Click the file with the left mouse button and drag it to the remote directory.

> The selected file is saved in the location specified. The browser window used for downloading files does not close automatically after the file is downloaded. Close the browser window manually.
