File Management

[sherry22]

When I open the "choose" folder to organize my files it will let me create a
new folder, but will not let me drag some of my .htm files into this new folder
to better organize. Does anyone know the best way to manage files in
Contribute?

Thanks!

You don't have FTP-like functionality in Contribute.

To relocate a file:
1. Open the file
2. Click Edit Page
3. Go to: File, Actions, Publish as new page
4. Save the file in your new folder.

To delete the old file:
1. Open the file
2. In the menu: File, Actions, Delete Page

To speed things up I would use an ftp program or Dreamweaver to do these
things.

I edit a website using Contribute 3 version 4.0.0.38 2002-04 (not CS3). How can
I view file stats: size, date etc. and how can I delete or move files which are
stored remotely.

I can see that there are extraneous files listed in the "Choose file on
Website" screen but do not understand how to access a file management tool.

Please advise.

At the far right of the addressbar, next to 'go' there is a button called
'Choose...'
You can access the files on the server here and delete them if you have the
proper rights set in the admin section.
