Making Content Available to WorldServer

About this task

You have created a mount, established a file hierarchy, and copied files to your computer. Now, you can make the content in those files available to WorldServer so that you and other members of your team can work with it. In this tutorial, you upload the content to WorldServer.

Conceptually, uploading involves copying assets from your computer to WorldServer. In reality, the assets are copied to the repository (or file system) that the WorldServer mount connects to. The companion process, downloading, involves copying assets from a WorldServer mount to your file system.

In the previous section, you copied a ZIP archive file to your computer. For the next few steps, we assume that you copied the file to c:\temp.

To upload the sample files to WorldServer:

Procedure

  1. In the WorldServer Explorer, navigate to and select wstut\en_US. The right side of the Explorer should be empty, because there isn’t any content in the en_US folder.
  2. Click Asset > Upload.
  3. On the Upload Files dialog box, click Browse.
  4. In the Choose file dialog box, navigate to the folder containing the tutorial zip files, c:\temp, and select en_us_source_content.zip. Click Open.
  5. On the Upload Files dialog box, the selected file appears in the Select a file field. Click Upload.
    When you see the success message, click OK.
  6. Now verify that the content is indeed accessible from WorldServer. In the Explorer, navigate into the en_US folder to see the source files, originally written in English.
    The zip files have been extracted into a set of folders and files.
