Upload Manager

Dynamicweb features an Upload Manager tool (Figure 1.1) which supports more advanced uploads - like unzipping files on the go. It is primarily useful when you cannot access the server where the solution is located directly, but still need to do more advanced upload tasks.

Please note:

  • The following characters are not handled by the upload tool: \ / : * ? " < > | , + ; # '
  • Apart from that, all letters, numbers and spaces are permitted, including $ % & ( ) _ . @ [ ] ^ _ ` ¨ { } ~ ´ =  - ! ¤ § £ as well as language specific characters such as æ, ø, å, ä, ö etc.
  • If the domain name contains non-ascii characters (like æø and ådon’t use Firefox when uploading files – temporarily switch to a less divalike browser.

To upload files with the upload manager:

  1. Click Choose file
