How do the files get into the File system repository?
- Files must be uploaded to the folder on the server via FTP
- This is done by those who have FTP access to that folder.
- If you don’t have this access, ask your system admin if they are able to set this up for you.
Is there a way to upload files to a File system repository from inside LMS?
No. You use a repository to get files from elsewhere and bring them into LMS. They are not for uploading files into. In other words, repositories are for “pulling” content into LMS; not for “pushing” it outside of LMS.
I already have a folder called “repository” on my server. Why do I need to make another one?
- There is a folder called “repository” in your LMS directory. This houses the code for all the repositories LMS accepts, such as Google docs, Flickr etc.
- This folder is not suitable for creating new folders for your staff to FTP documents into.
- For the file system repository to work you have to create a new folder named “repository” in the LMS data folder and add your own folders into there.
