### 12.7.2. Uploading Files to a Server Folder

You can upload files to a folder in the server file system (such as a job working directory) using the Upload action. You can upload files from your local computer, the repository, or from another location on the server.

To upload files to a file system folder:

1. On the Jobs > File System page, navigate to the location to which you want to upload files.

2. On the toolbar, click the upload button .

   The Upload Files to Working Directory dialog box appears:

3. Select the files that you want to upload.

   - To upload files from your local computer, select the Local System tab. If the files are currently displayed in a window such as Windows Explorer, or are on your desktop, you can drag them into the dialog. Otherwise, click Add and select the files in the Open dialog box. In Firefox and Chrome browsers you can select multiple files simultaneously. To select consecutive files, hold down the Shift key while selecting files. To select non-consecutive files, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting files. (In Internet Explorer you can only select a single file.)

     If you would like to use the File Transfer Client to upload files, click the Launch File Transfer Client link. See Uploading Files Using the File Transfer Client for more information.

   - To upload files from another location on the EKM server, select the Server tab. Click Add to display a pop-up search window. In the address bar, enter the path of the folder that you want to search in, and then click Go. The contents of the selected folder are displayed below the address bar. To search a folder within the currently selected folder, click the folder in the list. The path in the address bar will change accordingly. To move up a level in the folder structure, click the up arrow next to the Go button.

     Select the files and/or folders that you want to upload. You can select multiple items if you wish. To select consecutive files, hold down the Shift key while selecting files. To select non-consecutive files, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting files.

     Note: You cannot upload files from the EKM repository if you are working in a job-only view.

   Files selected for download are displayed below the Add button on each tab.

4. Once files have been added to the upload list, review the list and uncheck any items that you do not want to upload.
