In the above picture, you see that the downloads folder has been
selected. This is done by simply left-clicking the downloads
folder once. Then clicking on the Open button adds all files from
the downloads folder onto the frost File Upload Preview window:
Here is where one can select to upload
one or all files in the preview frame. Here the last file in the
group of four files was selected by left-clicking on it. Then by
right-clicking in that same window another window opens with a variety
of options for you to select from. You may choose to Upload all
files in the preview window, upload only the selected file, remove the
selected file, remove all files among the various options. Once
you select your upload option, uploading of the file or files commences.
Once a file has finished uploading, you will once again get a
confirmation in the Last upload column that the selected file has
finished uploading. This confirmation will now switch from Never
as seen in the above picture to the date you last uploaded the given
file. Now anyone with the public key to myboard will be able to
see which file or files you have uploaded to your board by doing a
search as described earlier in this document.
Note: When you are uploading a
file, due to the use of FEC in frost/freenet, frost will show itself to
be uploading approximately 1.5 times your original file size. FEC
takes a file and duplicates certain portions of that file so that it may
be more easily retrieved by other users. To learn more about the
use of FEC please refer to the Freenet website.
