How do I upload Files?

Uploading files to your Clipland PRO | Portfolio© is possible by using 3 different options. Currently the general file size limit on Clipland is 50MB.

1. from your Harddrive (via Browser)
Via browser usually fits the average user uploading multiple not too large files. The download is handled by the browser but NOT showing you a progress dialog during upload. This and other things make this an easy but also vulnerable option to upload files.

2. from the Web (download from the web)
From another webserver is your option of choice is you already uploaded your files to the internet and if you don't want to squeeze these megabytes through your dial-up connection once again. Just let our webserver download the files vie backend to your portfolio. Please note that you can't download files from streaming servers. Only files reachable and downloadable via http qualify. Streaming protocols such as RTSP, MMS or similar are not yet supported.

3. via FTP (using FTP-client software
FTP is for lots of files, large files or both. FTP guarantees for an uninterupted connection during upload and is reliable for large files. But you need experience with ftp-client software and need to rename your files according to our upload-token-system's requirements. The process is:

• Step 1: Obtain an upload token through the system. Tokens are of the form: "TOKEN-<10DigitNumber>"
• Step 2: In order to upload your file(s) to our server you need to rename your files to contain this token.
  An example:
  Your file is named 'showreel_aug2010.mov', your token is '_TOKEN6343'
  The file should be named 'showreel_aug2010_TOKEN6343.mov'
  This enables our system to identify your file(s) and add them to your Portfolio after upload.
• Step 3
  Then start up your ftp-client and connect to our ftp server. Use these settings in your software to connect
  Host: ftp.clipland.com
  Port: 21 (default setting)
  User: clipland
  Password: clipland
• Then, and ONLY after you completely uploaded your files to our ftp-server, return to your portfolio.

Hint: the system also recognizes Clipland ID-keys in filenames. If you add "_key<9DigitCliplandKey>" to your filenames the system will automatically link them to the specified Clipland entry after upload.
