4.  Search for and double click on the first file to upload. 

5.  Repeat the above steps for each file you want to upload.

upload will appear in the top right corner of your window. The contents of the folder is 

displayed in the main area, including your uploaded files.  

Creating a new file  

For small text files it can be easier to create them online, rather than on your home computer 

and uploading the file. You can create text files, such as HTML, PHP, or plain TXT, but not 

binary files.  

To create a new file: 

1.  Navigate to the folder where you want to create your text file. 

2.  Click on the Create New File link.  

3.  Enter the name of the file to be created in the Create file named field in the top right 

corner of your window. You do need to add the file extension to the name, for example 

script.pl for a Perl script, not just script.  

4.  Select the type of document from the drop down list. Each type of file adds specific 

information to the text file: 

o

Text Document   No text is added to the file.  

o

HTML Document   No text is added to the file.  

o

Perl Script   Automatically adds the path to Perl to the top of the file. Make sure 

to double check that the path is correct.  

o

Shell Script   Automatically adds the path to the Shell executable to the top of 

the file. Make sure to double check that the path is correct.  

5.  Click on the Create button. The file has now been created and the display updated to 

show the new file. Refer to 

Editing a file

 to add text to these new files.
