File Upload - Get File
You can get files from locations within WebCT or upload them from your computer and add them to your current location in File Manager. If you are getting files from a file-sharing location, such as Repository or Template Manager, you can either copy the files or create subscriptions to the files. For more information on file subscriptions, see Managing File Subscriptions.
Depending on the location in Vista where you want to add a file to, be it the Course Content Home, a Folder, a Learning Module or elsewhere, you start by clicking "Add File" than "Browse for Files" or "Get File". The Content Browser pop-up window appears.
