Specifying the directory to be uploaded
Targeting a (new) subdirectory
On top of the view, an empty text field will show up:
![Directory selector](https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/uploading-editing/images/directory-selector-empty.png)
This is for specifying the directory to upload the file(s).
For instance:
- Enter the name of the subdirectory (within the repository) in this field:
![A subdirectory is specified](https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/uploading-editing/images/directory-selector-subdir.png)
- Gin will automatically create a new directory with the given name (in case it does not exist) as you commit uploads:
![Created subdirectory](https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/uploading-editing/images/created-subdir.png)
- Inside the subdirectory, you will find the uploaded file(s):
![The uploaded file in the sub-directory](https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/uploading-editing/images/subdir-content.png)
Specifying a directory path
You can also specify the path to the directory of interest, by connecting a hierarchy of directories by a /
(slash):
