FAQs
Q: Uploads - are there any file size limits?
Q: Uploads - are there any file size limits?
A: Not if you use normal FTP, no. However, the file manager does have a file size limit, because the files are uploaded via HTTP, saved on the front end web server, then the net2ftp script moves them via FTP to the backend. Therefore files close to and over 100MB should only be attempted via FTP.
(Remember to check the TOS before uploading any media files!)
Q: Uploads - How many connections can I have when uploading?
Q: How many connections can I have when uploading?
A: Just one - but don't forget you can upload your entire site in a single zip file from the file manager! It's a very nifty utility.

Q: Can I use FTP and the File Manager at the same time?

Q: What kind of archive files are allowed?

Q: Uploads - unzipping archive (zip) files
Q: Can I upload Zip files and have them unzipped in my directory?
A: Yes you can! This will save you a lot of time, since you won't have to upload individual files.
Upload your zip file using the archive upload option on the right side of the upload screen. This utility will decompress and upload your files to the chosen directory.
Q: Uploads - zip files unzipped?
Q: Will all zip files I upload be unzipped in my directory?
A: No, if you upload the zip file as a normal file (using the left hand side of the upload screen) it will be uploaded normally, and intact. They are only unzipped if you use the right side of the upload screen for archive files.
Q: Uploads - exe files
Q: Can I upload .exe files?
A: Yes. They cannot be run our our systems, but we do recommend putting them in a zip file first. This will save size (smaller binaries) and allow you to pack more into the zip than just the executable.
