Cyberduck Help / Howto / Upload

File Chooser Dialog

Select File → Upload... to select files to upload. There is also a toolbar button available that you can add using View → Customize Toolbar....

Using Drag & Drop

Just drag the file from the Finder.app to the browser window.

You can also upload files without first opening a connection to a server by dropping the file(s) onto a bookmark item in the bookmark drawer.

Note that dragging files is not limited to the Finder.app, but also works i.e. with attachments Mail.app or any other application supporting file promises.

You can also drag files to the Cyberduck application icon which will upload to the frontmost browser.

Using Copy & Paste

Copy a file in the Finder.app with Edit → Copy and paste it to a browser window in Cyberduck to upload with Edit → Paste from Finder.

Permissions

Configure the default permissions applied to uploaded files in Preferences → Transfers → Permissions.

Excluded files and folders

Files and folders matching the regular expression in Preferences → Preferences → Advanced will be excluded. The default pattern excludes metadata files from common revision control software.

See also Preferences.

Option to upload with temporary name and rename file after transfer is complete

This can be enabled using the following hidden preference. Use

defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck queue.upload.file.temporary true

to enable.

To specify a different temporary filename pattern, use

defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck queue.upload.file.temporary.format "'{0}-{1}'"

where {0} is the original filename and {1} is a random UUID. The default setting uses a temprary filename of filename-uuid.

An upload that is not complete, will not be renamed.
