Using the Filemanager to add documents or image files
You can use the Filemanager to store files in the Oncourse environment. These files can be
anything, including word-processed documents, graphic files, spreadsheets, or presentations.
To transfer a file from your computer to Oncourse:
1. Enter the Filemanager. To do so from within your Oncourse Profile, from the "My
Tools" section, choose My Filemanager. Alternatively, you can enter the
Filemanager directly at: http://portfolio.iu.edu/
2. By default, you will be in a public directory. This means that documents you transfer
will be visible to anyone using the file's URL. If you would like to keep the
documents private, click Go to Private Directory.
3. From the buttons at the top of the screen, choose the button with a vertical blue arrow,
marked Upload a File. This will take you to a window marked My FileManager File Upload Wizard.
4. Indicate the file you want to transfer. To do this, you can either enter the filename in
the text box marked "File to upload:", or you can use the Browse... button to
identify the file. (If you can't find your file, make sure that "Files of Type:" is set to
All Files.) If you would like to transfer more than one file, click Add to upload
list.
5. When you are ready to transfer the file or files, click Upload now.
6. When the move is complete, the Filemanager will display the URL of the file you just
transferred. You can use this URL if you decide to add the document to your
bookmarks file or course materials, or if you are adding an image to your profile.
Copy the file URL to a document
(Note: Explanation assumes the use of Internet Explorer as the browser)
 Within the Oncourse Filemanager….
o Right click on the file name
o Choose Copy Shortcut from the pop up menu
o Switch to the destination application (Word, Excel, an email package, etc.)
o Edit Paste and the URL will appear
o Press the Spacebar on the keyboard to make the URL a working hyperlink
