Upload a Folder?

Is it possible to upload a folder of files into Weebly? I can find where to upload individual files, but would like to be able to upload a whole folder of files.

You can't upload a folder but you can upload multiple files to a folder you create. To do this, you'll need to use your site's Assets folder.

  1. Click on the "Theme" menu item in the Site Editor top navigation bar then click the "Edit HTML/CSS" button at the bottom of the left-hand sidebar.
  2. In the resultant Code Editor page, scroll down the left-hand sidebar until you reach the "Assets" section. Click the "+" sign to the right of Assets and then click "New Folder" and name this "wimpy" or whatever you'd like.
  3. Scroll down to the new wimpy folder and click the gear icon to the right of the wimpy label. Select "Upload file(s)" and then browse to and select all the files you need for your media player. In Windows, you can do a multiple file select by holding down your Shift key, single-clicking the first file and then single-clicking the last file. All the files in between the first and last will be selected. If you want to select multiple files in a non-contiguous way, hold down your Ctrl key and single-click on each desired file to upload. On Macs, use the Cmd key rather than the Ctrl key (shift key is the same for selecting contiguous files). Click the Open button to upload all your files.
  4. Click the blue Save button in the upper-right corner of the page to save and return to the Site Editor.
  5. When you add your media player code to the page (via a Weebly Code Element), you'll reference the files you uploaded with the relative path "/files/theme/wimpy/" So, for example, if you want to reference the file "myfile.mp3" that you uploaded to the wimpy folder in your site's Assets folder, you'll use the relative reference "/files/theme/wimpy/myfile.mp3"

Thanks for posting, @Leatherlips. There isn't really a way to upload in bulk like that since uploads are to a specific, section, image, link, etc. If this is something you want people to download, you could zip them all together first and upload the zip, though.

I was wanting to add files that would allow me to add a media player to my site. It is called Wimpy and you have to have their files on your site. It would be tedious to upload 1 file at at time.

Ahh, I understand. That could take a while depending on the script.

How do you unload a zip, I uploaded a zip file containing an API for my website but I don't know how to unzip the zip file.

You'll need to unzip the files on your local computer and upload them individually, @urd00m. There isn't a way to unpack a zip in your files directory after uploading it.
