    How do I browse directory contents in Contribute CS3?

      Hi everyone!

       

      I have one of our users uploading photos to our website.  At the moment she uses an FTP connection via Adobe Contribute CS3 to our web server.  This has worked great in the past.  However, at the moment she's uploading pictures to a dynamic website [Wordpress] and not using Contribute to edit the pages directly [as this is obviously done with the Wordpress Administration web panel].  The method she has been using is, within Adobe Contribute CS3, File>Publish File from My Computer.  This is great, but the problem is that she can only upload one file at a time, and if she's already uploaded the file, she has no way of knowing she's uploaded it before, except for that Contribute appends a 001 at the end of the file name.

       

      How can she access a folder structure within Contribute CS3, treating it like an FTP client?  I'm sure this must be doable.  Yes, I could install an FTP client, but she's very comfortable using Contribute CS3 and uses this application for other portions of the website which are static.

       

      Thanks in advance for any advice!

          Hi,

           

               To check if she's already uploaded the file, she can click the Choose button in Contribute. On clicking Choose button, Choose File dialog will be shown. In this dialog, she can browse to the appropriate folder in which she had published the images, and verify the contents.

           

               For uploading multiple files through Publish File from my Computer, I do not think it is possible as of now. There can be a workaround though, insert all the images you want to a web page, and publish the web page to the website. Then, all the images will be published along with the web page. Then, you can delete that web page.

           

          Note: The images in a web page, generally are placed in the 'images' directory of the website by Contribute. If you are placing the images in different folder, then, make sure that you change the publish folder for images to that folder.
