<p>The IVLE <strong>File Browser</strong> is your way to access and edit your |
2 |
files stored in IVLE</p> |

<h2>Getting Started with File Browser</h2> |
|
4 |
<h3>Navigating</h3> |
|
5 |
<p>The Filebrowser works very much like most other file browsers. When you open |
|
6 |
the file browser you will be faced with a series of icons representing the |
|
7 |
directories (the 'folder' icon) and files (the 'paper' icons) in your home |
|
8 |
directory. Clicking on the name of a directory will open the directory while |
|
9 |
clicking the line or icon of a directory or file will mearly select it. |
|
10 |
Multiple directories or files may be selected by clicking the checkbox in the |
|
11 |
far left column. You can also browse up to a higher level directory by clicking |
|
12 |
the required folder in the breadcrumb trail near the top of the window.</p> |
|
13 |
<h3>Adding Directories or Files</h3> |
|
14 |
<p>To create a new directory or file, open the <emph>More actions...</emph> |
|
15 |
drop down box and select either <emph>New Directory</emph> or <emph>New |
|
16 |
File</emph> under Directory actions. A pop up box will appear asking for the |
|
17 |
name of the new file. Enter the name and the file will appear in the current |
|
18 |
directory. Another way is by <a href="#uploadingFiles">Uploading Files</a> from |
|
19 |
your local computer.</p> |
|
20 |
<h3>Editing Files</h3> |
|
21 |
<p>To edit a file in the text editor, click the name of the file you wish to |
|
22 |
edit in the file browser and then click <emph>Open</emph>. This will then open |
|
23 |
the file in the Text Editor screen. When finished editing the selected file |
|
24 |
click <emph>Save</emph> button to save the file to IVLE.</p> |
|
25 |
<h3>Deleting Directories or Files</h3> |
|
26 |
<p>To delete a directory or file, open the <emph>More actions...</emph> drop |
|
27 |
down box and click <emph>Delete</emph> under File actions. A pop-up window will |
|
28 |
appear to confirm that you really wish to delete the file.</p> |
