Specifying the Location of a File to Upload

Files can be uploaded into a project from a web location (HTTP or FTP Server) or from the local file system.

Procedure

  1. To specify a location for the file from the local file system, choose from one of the following options:
    • Click Browse to browse for the file, and click Open.
    • In the Location field, enter the URI of the file on the local file system, for example: file:/C:/temp/mySchema.xsd
  2. To specify a location for the file from an external web location (FTP or HTTP Server), in the Location field enter the URI of the file using any of the following format descriptions:
    • http://[username:password@]hostname[:portNumber]/location
    • https://[username:password@]hostname[:portNumber]/location
    • ftp://[username:password@]hostname[:portNumber]/location
    The preceding format descriptions contain the following representations:
    • brackets [] - represent optional parameters and should not be included in the URI
    • username - specifies the user name to connect to the HTTP or FTP server
    • password - specifies the password of the specified user name to connect to the HTTP or FTP server
    • portNumber - specifies the port number to use to connect to the HTTP or FTP server
    • location - specifies the URL path to find the file. The URL must include the name of the file as shown in the following example.

Example

To upload the mySchema.xsd file from the acme.com FTP server in the /input directory using the username bob with a password of snippy1, specify the following sting in the Location field:
  • ftp://bob:snippy1@acme.com/input/mySchema.xsd
