You will need to navigate through the file requestor until you find the file you would like to upload.

When you have selected the file you would like to upload, click Open, and the file will be transferred to the server.

As soon as you move the file to the server, it is viewable online in a browser. Because browsers cache files, you may need to hold the shift key and click reload or refresh in order to see the latest version.
