Uploading files

You can upload files in Kentico either one by one or as multiple files. This can be useful if you need to upload a greater number of files at once, or if you need to perform the task quickly. Uploading multiple files at once is available for:

• Media files - files in media libraries (e.g. Media libraries -> Edit () media library -> Files).
• Meta files - files related to specified objects (e.g. e-mail template attachments in E-mail templates -> Edit () e-mail template -> General).
•  Page attachments - files attached to pages (e.g. Pages -> select page -> Properties -> Attachments).

Requirements for uploading multiple files

The following conditions must be fulfilled to allow uploading of multiple files:

• The application has the write-to-disk permission for the temporary file repository (CMS/App_Data/CMSTemp/MultiFileUploader folder).
• The client browser supports HTML 5

How it works

1. Select one or more files from a given location.

   

2. The files are downloaded as temporary files to a repository (CMS\App_Data\CMSTemp\MultiFileUploader). To upload the files successfully, users need to avoid causing a post back on the page containing the upload form field.

3. When the upload is finished, the temporary files become the requested files:
