Copying/moving files
Copying and moving files and directories is easily done in
SiteBuilder. A wizard guides you through the process. The wizard is
similar for both operations and is easy to use.
Copy
The first step is to focus on the file or directory that are to be
copied and pressing the Copy button to launch the wizard
that will give guidance through the process.
The first page of the wizard is used to find the directory where
the copy should be saved, and possibly change the name of the copy. In
our example we try to copy the file /overview/serach.html to
/user/intraseek/search_result.html.
At the start we will be viewing the /overview/
directory. The file system within the wizard is navigated in the
same way as the regular SiteBuilder file system, with on exception. It
is not possible to click on the directory names, only the icons.
We must choose the Up to parent directory link to navigate
upwards towards our goal.
/overview/
directory
After having followed the Up to parent directory link we
will be looking at the / directory, or the root of the file
system. From here we must descend the user/ the directory.
/
directory
Our journey takes us to the /user/ directory. From here we
must descend the intraseek/ directory.
/user/
directory
At the last leg of our journey we are at our destination directory,
/user/intraseek/. All we have to do before we go to the next
step in the wizard is to change the file name to
search_result.html.
/user/intraseek/ directory
The second page of the wizard asks for confirmation of the
operation. By pressing Ok we will finish the copying. It
will however be necessery to commit the changed file before other
users can see the result of the operation.
Confirmation of the copy operation
In case of copying a directory the second page of the wizard will also
ask for a log message. As with all directory operations it will be
commited to the repository immediately, thus the need for a log
message. All files and subdirectories within the directory will be
copied as well.
Move or rename
Moving or renaming a file or directory follows the same procedure as
copy. Focus on the file or directory that should be moved and the
press the Move button. Follow the instructions in the
wizard and when the wizard is finished commit the changes.

wizard
As with the copy wizard it is necessary to confirm the move.
Confirmation of the move operation
In case of moving a directory the second page of the wizard will also
ask for a log message. As with all directory operations it will be
commited to the repository immediately, thus the need for a log
message. All files and subdirectories within the directory will be
moved as well.
