How Do I Upload A Largish MP3 File?

I know it has something to do with the control panel -- or at least it did -- but I forget what the url is on that.

Can anyone help?

Hey Ace:

For some reason this post is showing a 'not found' error when I try to leave a comment using the regular comment form, or click on the permalink. So I'm using the 'new coment thingy' to post this.

Cpanel is your admin interface to your area of the server. To get to CPanel, just add /cpanel to the end of your site address in the address bar of your browser - e.g. http://ace.mu.nu/cpanel  

You'll get a Name and Password login box. You should have received these in an email from Pixy when you were first set up. It's possible they're the same as you MT login, but possibly not. If you don't have 'em, you'll need to email Pixy.

Once in CPanel, the icon you're looking for is marked File Manager. When you double-click on it, you'll be shown the directory structure of your part of the server. You navigate by clicking on the icons to the left of each directory (folder). Don't try clicking on the name itself when navigating, that's for actually making a change to the file itself - like renaming, deleting, changing permissions, etc. (choices show in the upper right corner of the page.)









Just navigate your way through to the folder into
which you wish to upload, then click the Upload file link in that folder view.
Just follow the steps from there.


(apologies if this is overly basic - not sure of
your expertise and wanted to make sure you were covered.)

Paul

Thanks Paul. :)

Ace came up with an even better solution - he used his beta.mu.nu blog. :)

Yay Minx file uploady thing! (No size limits, doesn't time out... as long as your connection doesn't drop out while you're uploading)
