The simple solution is to learn how to use FTP client software and use that to upload the files. Using FTP software you can manage files on your host in the same way you would on your own computer. You could create as many folders as you like and then "drag and drop" files into those folders from your computer... Once you FTP (upload) the file, you would use the "From URL" method to insert a link to the PDF (or other type of media) into your post. For FTP client software, I suggest looking into Filezilla -- it's FREE and very easy to use.

Thanks Jim Hi

With respect to #24, where uploaded files are stored, is it possible to have multiple folders for different kinds of content, rather than everything being in one directory?

You could try adding <strong>target="_blank"</strong> into the <strong><a href="" rel="nofollow"></strong> tag -- but many people's browsers are set to open PDFs in their own window, or only download the PDF then open it with Acrobat...

I find it's annoying to have a pdf open in the same window, and then you have to navigate back. Thanks! Hi, is it possible to be able to have the PDF open in a new tab/window?
