To upload a file, follow these instructions:

1. If requested, enter your username and password above. They are case-sensitive, so use capital letters if/where appropriate.

2. Click the button labeled "Browse..." or "Choose File". If that button does not appear above, you're using an incompatible browser incapable of uploading files using this system.

3. After clicking the "Browse..." or "Choose File" button, you'll see a list of the files on your computer. Locate and select the file you wish to upload.

4. After entering your username and password, and then selecting and confirming a file, click the "Upload File" button.

5. The system will upload your file to the server.

6. After the upload concludes, you'll receive notification onscreen within a few seconds (depending on the speed of your connection).

7. If any problem occurs during the upload, you'll receive a warning and explanatory message onscreen.

Please note the following:

• If your instructor has specified how your file should be named, you must do so BEFORE it is selected and uploaded.

• The system will automatically prepend your name to the name of the file you upload. For example, file.doc would become washington_george_file.doc.

• The system will not allow you to upload a file to this In-Box directory with the same name as a file you've already uploaded to this In-Box. If you need to upload it again, you must give the file a different name before doing so.

• In order to be successfully uploaded, the name of a file can only contain letters, numbers, periods, dashes, and/or underscores.

• In order to be successfully uploaded, the name of a file cannot contain blank spaces.

• In order to be successfully uploaded, the name of a file must end with an appropriate extension (such as .html, .doc, .jpg, .gif and so on).

• In order to be successfully uploaded, the name of a file cannot begin with a period.
