# Upload Files

Upload a file to the web server from your local computer.

| ### Select New/Replacement File to Upload
Local File: | Choose the file to upload. This can be done by either typing in the directory path or by clicking "browse" and then browsing to the desired file location on your local computer.
| ### File Access Control
Folder: | This is the Folder that the file will be placed in. The Folder's access control will dictate who can view or download the File.
| ### Check if File is a Design File that is Managed by Site Designers
Design: | This property only appears for Site Designers. You can use this property to set whether this File is a Design File or not. Design Files may only be edited or deleted by Site Designers in order to prevent the design of a website from being accidentally altered. If you upload a zip file and extract it, then your selection for this field will be applied to all of the extracted files.
| ### File Description / Photo Gallery Caption
File Description: | Enter a description for this File. If you are going to include this File in a Photo Gallery, this is the caption that will appear below the Photo. It also appears for Folder Views. WARNING: Text you enter here may be seen on your website if this image is selected for a Photo Gallery or this file appears in a Folder View so please keep that in mind.

Clicking "Upload" to send the file from your local computer up to the web server. Please be patient, large files may take a few minutes.
NOTE: There is no maximum file size that can be uploaded, however, success will depend on your own Internet connection speed at the time of the upload, and any file size limitation that your hosting provider sets on your hosting account. If you receive an error, we recommend trying the upload at a less busy time of day or trying the upload with a smaller file.
