Insert a form

First, we need to insert a form, containing a file field and a submit button on our page. From the insert menu (1) and select form (2).

Change the name

Now change its default name to: upload form.

Insert file field

Then click inside the form (1) and from the insert menu (2), choose file (3).

Add submit button

Now, as we have our file field inserted, we need to add the submit button. From the insert menu (1) add a submit button (2).

Create server action

As we've already set up our form properly, let's add the file upload functionality to it. First, create a new server action (1) inside the DMXzone Server Connect panel and add a name for it (2).

Sync form fields

Then expand globals (1) and sync your page form fields. Browse to your page (2), select it (3) and click the OK button (4).

Customize the options

You can use a naming template mask, for the files, that you upload. If you leave this field empty, the files will be uploaded with their original names. Select whether to overwrite existing files, with the same name or not. Enable the create path option (1) if you want the HTML5 File Upload to create the upload folder, if it doesn't exist on your server. Also, enable the throw errors option, if you'd like to see error messages, when there is a problem with the upload (2). Save your server action steps (3) when you are done.
