Upload Multimedia Files

Method 1.  File Transfer Protocol

Method 2.  Mapped Network Drive

Rather than FTP, faculty and staff can also access their winmedia folder from a mapped drive on their campus computer (INTRA domain). Files can then be dragged from one folder to another.

Use the following address:  \\winmedia\winmedia\FolderName\
