Path And Name Of Gedcom On Server
Location of the Gedcom file on the server. There are two ways of importing your Gedcom file into PhpGedView. They are:
  1. FTP the file to the server
  2. Upload within PhpGedView
When your file already exists on the server, you engage the Add GEDCOM procedure and fill in the path and name of your GEDCOM file as they exist on the server. The name can be with or without extension. If no extension is given, .ged will be assumed. The path is optional. If no path is given, the value of the Index file directory option, as set in your PhpGedView site configuration, will be used. Please note that on most servers, file and path names are case sensitive.

When you engage the Upload GEDCOM procedure built into PhpGedView, you can use the Browse button to locate the desired file on your local computer. This can be a regular GEDCOM file or a ZIP file containing the GEDCOM file. PhpGedView will automatically extract and then use the Gedcom file contained in that ZIP file.

When uploading a file it is possible to specify an alternative path and/or filename to save it under on the server.
