Online Documentation ANGEL 7.2 > Personal Home > Files

Create folders, files and upload images and documents to your personal file manager (Files) for storage purposes or to publish your content on the World Wide Web. The built-in HTML Editor allows you to create new web pages or to edit existing ones with an easy-to-use word processing-style interface.

To create a folder:

1. Log into ANGEL and click the Files hyperlink found in the Toolbox.
2. Click the Add Content hyperlink (located on the upper left toolbar). The Add Content page appears.



3. Click the Create a Folder hyperlink. The Create a Folder page displays.
4. Type a name in the Folder Name field.
5. Click the OK button.

To create a file:

1. Log into ANGEL and click the Files hyperlink found in the Toolbox.
2. Click the Add Content hyperlink (located on the upper left toolbar).
3. Click the Create a File hyperlink. The Create a File page appears.



4. Type a name in the File Name field.

When creating a web page, add the proper extension (.htm or .html) to the end of the filename (i.e., index.html) to ensure the file type is properly identified and rendered by the web browser. For best results, web page names should be comprised of alphanumeric characters with no spaces or special characters other than hyphen and underscore characters.

5. Type or paste text or HTML code in the File Contents field. Optionally use the Fast !Page HTML Editor to apply formatting, insert images, or create hyperlinks in an HTML file.
6. Click the OK button.

3. Click the Upload Files hyperlink. The Upload a File page appears.



4. Click the Browse button. A Choose file dialog box appears.

For best results do not upload files that have blank spaces in the titles (e.g. Assignment Guidelines.doc). Instead rename your files prior to uploading into the ANGEL environment (e.g. Assignment_Guidelines.doc).

5. Locate and select the file and click the Open button.
6. Click the Upload File button, then Done or Upload Another File .

To upload a file using Drag-n-drop:

In order to use Drag-n-drop you need to have Sun's JVM 1.4.1 installed on your computer. If you do not have this installed you are prompted to download the JVM (Java Virtual Machine).

1. Log into ANGEL and click the Files hyperlink found in the Toolbox.
2. Click the Add Content hyperlink (located on the upper left toolbar).
3. Click the Drag-n-drop hyperlink. It may take a few seconds to load the applet for the drag-n-drop.
4. Drag one or more files or folders from your computer to the Drag-n-drop upload area. A progress bar appears as your files are uploaded. Once the upload is complete the uploaded files display in the Drag-n-drop window.



5. Click the Done button when you are finished uploading files.
