Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I upload NetID-restricted files to Drupal?

File uploading to LPL Drupal sites is done through the IMCE File Browser.

After logging into the site:

  1. Paste /imce/private into your site's URL.
  2. On the left pane, click "private://" and select the folder you want to upload to.
    • You may be in root on your first visit. On a subsequent visit, File browser will show only the last folder you were in. Click "private://" to reset back to the main directory.
  3. Click the Upload button above the directory list.
  4. Drag-and-drop files onto the green box or click the "+ Add file" prompt.
    • If a file already exists on the server in the current directory with the same file name, the new file will be renamed when uploaded.
  5. If the file is being uploaded from a dialog box, click Select in the File Browser toolbar or double-click the file to insert it.

When adding a restricted URL link:

  • In the private IMCE browser, select the file and copy the URL in the bottom panel or double-click the file to open in a new tab and copy the address bar URL.

Note: Your site must be set up to handle restricted files. Contact Joshua Sosa (PG4gdWVycz0iem52eWdiOndmYmZuQHljeS5uZXZtYmFuLnJxaCI+d2ZiZm5AeWN5Lm5ldm1iYW4ucnFoPC9uPg==) to set up the restricted file system.
