Upload Multiple Files into the Content System
Multiple files and folders may be uploaded into the Content Management System (CMS) with the use of Web Folder,
a Web application using WebDAV technology, Web-based Distributed
Authoring and Versioning, an IETF standard. Web Folder functions as
an interface between your desktop operating system and the Content System to upload multiple files.
How to use Web Folder to upload multiple files: |

Open Blackboard and click the Content System tab. |
|
Click on the Web Folder icon located on the Actions Toolbar. |

|
Open Windows Explorer to locate the files you wish to upload. Minimize the size of the Windows Explorer screen to display a portion of the Web Folder screen.
Windows Explorer Shortcut (Directory Structure) - Click right mouse on Start button and click Explore. |

Select the desired folders and files that you wish to upload into CMS.
Hold Ctrl button down and click on files to select more than one file.

Note: If you experience a 405 Error opening Web Folder, then go to the Microsoft.com to run Windows Update on your computer. Microsoft has provided a fix for the problem in the latest Windows Update. If you are using a public computer, click on Web Folder a second time. The second click will open Web Folder and will place it on your Start task bar. Click the application on the task bar to open the Web Folder screen. |
