### 7.1.3. Uploading Files from the Server

You can use the Upload Files/Folders from Server action to transfer files and/or folders from the server to the EKM repository. In this case, the server refers to the compute server, which is the machine where files are generated when jobs are run using EKM and RSM.

Note: If you upload a folder that contains a Workbench project (.wbpj file) along with its project files, EKM will create an archive file (.wbpz file) for the project and upload only the archive to the repository in lieu of the project. You can specify whether or not you want to compress archive files prior to transfer. See Specifying General Preferences.

To upload files/folders from the server:

1. In the file list window, select the folder to which you want to upload files/folders.

2. On the toolbar, select (Upload) > Files/Folders from Server. The Upload Files/Folders From Server dialog box appears.

3. Click the Add button to display a search window.

4. 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.

5. Select the files and/or folders that you want to upload. You can select multiple items if you wish. You can “Shift + click” to select a group of consecutive items, or “Ctrl + click” to select or deselect items individually.

6. Click OK to add the selected items to the upload list. To remove an item from the upload list, click Remove next to the item’s name.

7. If the files/folders that you are uploading already exist in the target location, and you want them to be overwritten, enable the Overwrite existing files check box. If you do not enable in this check box, and the files/folders already exist in the target location, a warning message will appear, and the files/folders will not be uploaded.

8. Click OK. The selected files/folders will start uploading to the currently selected folder.

   When the upload is complete, the Message box will report the number of items that were successfully uploaded, as well as any errors or warnings.

9. To specify properties for the uploaded files/folders immediately, enable the Edit properties of added files/folders check box. Otherwise you can leave this check box disabled and edit the properties at a later time if you prefer.

10. Click OK to complete the upload.
