| - | <h1>STARTURK</h1> | + | ====== Uploading Files ====== |
| + | |||
| + | ===== [[dragdrop]] Using Drag&drop (Mouse) ===== | ||
| + | First [[ui_file_panel#selecting_files|select the local files or directories]] you want to upload. You can select the files in the Windows Explorer or other application. If you are using [[ui_commander|Norton Commander interface]], you can also select the files in its [[ui_file_panel|local panel]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then drag your selection and drop it on the [[ui_file_panel|remote panel]]. If you drop the files on empty place on file list, the files will be uploaded to current remote directory. If you drop the files on remote directory icon (either in the file list or directory tree), the files will be uploaded to that directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Before the upload actually starts, the [[ui_copy|transfer options dialog]] will show. There you will have a chance to change the transfer options or the target directory. You can avoid the dialog being shown in [[ui_pref_environment#confirmations|preferences]]. In such case you can change the transfer options by selecting preset on //[[ui_toolbars#transfer_settings_presets|Transfer Settings toolbar]]//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Using Keyboard ===== | ||
| + | If you prefer controlling application using keyboard, you will probably find [[ui_commander|Norton Commander interface]] useful. Otherwise, you must use [[task_upload#using_copy_amp:paste|copy&paste]] method. | ||
| + | |||
| + | First select the local files or directories you want to upload (learn how to [[ui_commander#selecting_files|select files using keyboard]]). Make sure that [[ui_file_panel|local panel]] is still active and use command //Files > Copy// (or press ''F5'' key). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Before the upload actually starts, the [[ui_copy|transfer options dialog]] will show. There you will have a chance to change the transfer options or the target directory. The target directory is by default the current remote directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== [[copy_paste]] Using Copy&paste ===== | ||
| + | If you prefer the [[ui_explorer|Explorer-like interface]], but still want to control it using keyboard, you need to use copy&paste method. | ||
| + | |||
| + | First select the files you want to upload in Windows Explorer or other application and copy them to clipboard. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then switch to WinSCP and use command //File(s) > Paste// (or ''Ctrl+V''). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Before the upload actually starts, the [[ui_copy|transfer options dialog]] will show. There you will have a chance to change the transfer options or the target directory. The target directory is by default the current remote directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note that if clipboard contains plain text string only (no file data), the function //File(s) > Paste// [[task_navigate#opening_path_stored_in_clipboard|opens the path stored in clipboard]] instead of pasting files. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Using Explorer's 'Send To' Context Menu ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Learn how to [[integration#send_to|integrate WinSCP into Explorer's 'Send To' menu]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Dropping Files on WinSCP Icon ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Files dropped on [[integration#icons|WinSCP icon]] associated with stored session will be uploaded. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Upload on Background ===== | ||
| + | By default, the upload starts on foreground, blocking the WinSCP window until it is complete. Learn how to schedule the [[transfer_queue|background transfer]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Preserving Overwritten Remote Files ===== | ||
| + | You can set up [[ui_login_environment#recycle_bin|remote recycle bin]] to backup files that you overwrite during upload. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Automating Upload ===== | ||
| + | To automate file upload use scripting command ''[[script_commands#put|put]]''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Upload/Download Buttons ===== | ||
| + | In [[ui_commander|Norton Commander interface]] you can use toolbar with Upload/Download buttons to transfer files. You will want to use these particularly, if you want to transfer files, without having the [[ui_file_panel|panel]] with source directory active. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== [[unc]] Uploading Files From UNC Paths (Network shares) ===== | ||
| + | While WinSCP cannot browse UNC paths (network shares) in local [[ui_file_panel|panel]] of [[ui_commander|Norton Commander interface]], it can upload files from there. You can [[task_upload#dragdrop|drag]] the files from Windows Explorer or another application, you can use UNC paths in [[scripting]], or use any other mean of uploading as described on this page. | ||
