Import a folder with sub folders into Site Manager

Post by JulianF »

Good Evening,
I am using WB11.
I am about to rebuild a site in WB11 that was originally done in another programm and much of the contents are multiple forms that were generated in a further program (Coffee Cup Web Form Builder) with the related files for each form within separate folder structures.
I am attempting to import these folders that contains the form files into site manager but this does not appear to work - the aim is than when I publish the site all these folder will upload to my web host.
If I manually upload these folders using Filezilla it all works but there must be a way to do it all withing WB.
I can insert external file but not external folder and contents into Site Manager, there must be a way!
Can someone please help?
Thanks,
Julian

Hi Julian,
Why not just import them to your computer and store in a structure that suits then place the File Publisher object on your page and attach the files in the correct structure for uploading to your host. That way they will always upload when the page is uploaded and be in the correct structure / location on your Host.

First note that WB11 is no longer supported.

There is no way to import an entire folder in the Site Manager.
But you can use the 'File Publisher' object to include external folder structures.

Thanks - I had missed the File Publisher Object - that does the job!
Many thanks for the advice.
