Learn More About Managing Files

Prerequisites: This tutorial assumes that you have already set up your Moxie.Build server and logged in. This page covers some of the basics that are involved in managing files and folders in the Moxie.Build system.

Getting Started

First of all, make sure you are logged in to your Moxie system as a user that has Admin access. If you're not already, click on the Me navigation dropdown then Admin to enter the Admin interface. After doing so, the navigation menu should look similar to the one pictured below. Click on Files.

Managing Files Admin Navbar

This is where you can see all of the folders that make up your website structure. Click on any folder name to view the files & sub-folders within that folder.

In order to use the Content Management System editor to insert files or images into a page, you must first upload the wanted files or images through this Files interface.


Creating Sub-folders

To keep your files organized, you should place them in appropriate sub-folders.

  1. Navigate to the folder you want to create a new sub-folder in. For example, select the Public folder.
  2. Select the Sub-Folders   dropdown button and then choose New Sub-Folder.
  3. Create a sub-folder with a name of your choice.
  4. Then, you'll see that your new sub-folder has been added to the Sub-Folders   dropdown.

Uploading Files

  1. Navigate to the folder you want to upload the file into. For example, select the Public / TestFolder folder you just created.
  2. Click the Upload button to upload a file into the current folder.
  3. First select the Browse... button, to choose a file from your computer. After that has been selected, select the Upload File button. Click the Close button to go back to your sub-folder's page.
  4. Here you will see that your file has been uploaded.
