Upload Images and Supporting Files

Step 1: Prepare Your Page

Step 2: Upload Your Page
Step 3: Upload Images and Supporting Files
Upload Images and Supporting Files
The page you just uploaded has supporting images and files (such as SBI! Includes). That's why you have another step to do before you complete the process.
This is where SBI! lists all of the properly referenced images and supporting files associated with this page. (So if a certain image is not on the list, check back to see how you referenced it.)
You'll see three columns...
- Review the list of files, checking for missing ones.
- Click the Browse button ("Choose File" in Safari) to upload each file where the Status says please upload.
- If you have uploaded images previously, click Preview to check that they are the most current versions.
- Click on Upload These Files to upload all associated files.
1) File Name: This column shows the name of each image or supporting file as indicated in your HTML.
2) Status: This column shows whether or not a file has been saved to the SBI! servers (a red please upload or a black good.)
If this is the first time you're uploading a page, chances are you'll have to upload most files. However, as your site grows, more and more of your required files will already be available in SBI!.
Tips
- Want to know if the most current version of an image is on the SBI! server? Click the Preview button to double-check.
- Step 3 lists supporting files that are part of your site and that were referenced in the HTML file (or Include file) just uploaded. If you are referencing files on a different domain (ex., www.cnn.com), they do not appear here.
3) Browse column: If SBI! needs a supporting file uploaded (or if you decide to add newer versions of outdated images), click the Browse button ("Choose File" if using Safari). Then select the indicated supporting file. Once all of the files have been selected, click on the Upload These Files button to transfer them to SBI!.
If SBI! detects any errors (i.e., you have selected the wrong file), you'll receive an error message. Otherwise, this page will refresh, ready to preview and analyze it.
Editing a Page
Are you editing or modifying only the text of this page? You do not have to upload the supporting files already stored on SBI!'s servers again. Instead, use Quick Re-Upload It! to upload just the page file.
However, if you are adding new link references to supporting files, you will have to do Steps 2 and 3 of the regular upload process once again.
Tips
-
If you think a file should be included in the list of files to be uploaded, but you don't find it there, check that you referenced the correct folder...
1) All images should be in a folder named image-files.
2) All media files should be in a folder named media-files.
3) All support files (ex., CSS file) should be in a folder named support-files.Let's say, for example, the code for one image is...
<img src="images/test-image.gif>
...then SBI! will not recognize that image as a file to upload, and it will not appear in the upload list.
Make any changes to the code and re-upload the page file in Step 2.
- Have you already uploaded a certain page once but you want to make some minor text changes (ex., typos)? Use Quick Re-Upload It! in the WebFTP section of Site Central. It bypasses the file scanning process and simply re-uploads the page (up to 20 at a time).
