File Management

 Previous
If you sell downloadable products (like software or e-books) or just think it convenient to store some files on the server within the bounds of your BuySellDirect.net store, you might be interested to know that BuySellDirect.net provides a special directory where you can store various files and a file manager that allows you to manage the contents of this directory.
▪ you can access the file manager by clicking on Files in the Inventory menu.

You can upload files onto the BuySellDirect.net server (to your own files directory), create subdirectories within your files directory, copy and delete files stored in your files directory. You only can access your own file directory.

Creating directories

1. Open the file manager ('Browse files' dialog box). The structure of your files directory is displayed at the top of the dialog box:

2. If you wish to create a sub-directory, navigate to the directory where you wish this sub-directory to be located (To go to a directory, click on its folder icon).
3. Use the field 'New directory name' to enter a name for the sub-directory being created.
4. Click on Create. The sub-directory should be created.

4. Use the 'Select file' window to locate on your local machine the file which needs to be uploaded and click on Open. The name  of the selected file should appear in the 'Upload file to the current directory' section.
5. If a file of the same name already exists in the destination directory, and you wish this file to be replaced by the file you are going to upload, select the 'Replace file if exists' check box.
6. Click the Upload button. The file should be uploaded to the selected directory.
