Upload

Copies the specified file to the directory on the Portfolio server that corresponds with the Discovery source. Any files that you upload will remain on the server until they are deleted from the directory. After you upload the file, the relative path to the uploaded file on the Portfolio server displays in the Uploaded File URL field.

Note: If you try to upload a file that has the same name as a file that already exists on the Portfolio server, the uploaded file is renamed when it is placed on the server to avoid overwriting the existing file. The renamed file will have a number added to the beginning of the original file name. For example, if you upload the logo.png file, and a file by that name already exists in that directory, the file you are uploading will be renamed to 1logo.png when it is placed on the server.
