To upload a file, such as a PDF or Word document, start by going to the My account link in the left navigation. Clicking on the third tab, IMCE files, at the top of the page takes you to a page where you can preview and upload files to the server.

IMCE files

At the top is a list of the files that are already loaded to your site. You can preview the images by clicking on the filename, view file information to the right of the filename or delete the file by clicking on the delete link.

Below the list of files is the preview panel. Clicking on the filename of an image will cause the image to be previewed here.

Following the preview pane is a simple form to upload a file. Click on the Browse... button to bring up a file navigation window. Navigate and select the file you would like to upload to the server. This will fill in the text field to the left of the Browse... button with a path to the file. Finally click on the Upload File button to upload the file to the server. Once the file has successfully finished uploading, it will appear in the list of files and a confirmation message will appear at the top of the preview panel.

Your file is now available and can be linked to.

You may also upload images to your site as well. When you upload an image to your server, be sure the image doesn't already exist. If you upload an image with a name that already exists on the server, it will be renamed with an additional "name_#", like "flower_0.gif" from "flower.gif". To avoid this, you either rename your image or delete the existing file on the server. If you upload the file with the same name as a deleted one, be sure to refresh your browser. This will re-download the images instead of loading them from your browser's cache.
