I'm currently transferring one php website to Umbraco. This is my firs experience using this CMS, so may be my question seems to be silly, but anyway:
There was "image" folder for the website template images at the previous version. Now I need to upload all images to this folder to make template work. But I can only upload Media content that changes images locations.
Can you tell, please, how can I upload image folder using admin area of Umbraco CMS?
I need this folder to be named exactly "images" to store template content.
Actually I can use FTP or store it at my server localy, but in case I'm a user that have no FTP access - is there a way to upload files/folders via Umbraco control panel?
If they are images that are meant to be added by Editors, then you would upload them via the Media Section. Otherwise you can consider them to be part of the template and should upload them using whatever method you are publishing the site with - FTP or using Web Deploy or whatever other method you are using.
In this scenario, where the /images folder contains images that are to be used for the site templates, (or wherever you need to put template images) the best way to do this (and is actually considered fairly standard) is to just FTP the folder up to the website along with the rest of the Umbraco files.
How can I use image folder in Umbraco?

If a content editor needs to update image, than you can use Umbraco media section. Which will upload to /media/ folder.
Otherwise you can use ftp. and upload the folder "image".

Thank you.
As far as I know, it will not be possible using Umbraco back office unless you extend it.
Are there any extensions that can be installed or this functionality has to be added manually?
