> # Uploading Files Using NetFile

> In NetFile, upload indicates transferring files from your local system to the remote system to which you have connected.

> Use the Upload button on the NetFile window to copy a file from your local system to the directory you select.

> ### To Upload a File

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

> The Upload a File dialog is displayed.

> 2. Type the full path of the local file that you want to upload.

> Use the Browse... button to locate the file if required.

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

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

> You can use the file name that is automatically displayed in the Upload File Name field or type a different file name. You might want the file name to be the same when you are updating or backing up the contents of an existing file. There are other times when you should enter a different file name to keep from overwriting the contents of a file on the destination system.

> 4. Click Store File.

> You are given a choice to either overwrite or rename, if a file with the same name exists in the destination folder.

> The Upload Status window appears and shows the status of the upload. Click "Cancel this dialog" to dismiss the Upload Status window.

> 5. Click OK in the Info dialog.

> You cannot stop an upload that is in progress. You can only dismiss the Info dialog.

> NetFile copies the file from your local system to the remote system, if you have write permissions to the remote system. You are notified after the file upload is complete.

> 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 Date Modified column.

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