Hello,

At first I would like to recommend you to use Media Library module to manage media content. It's possible to upload multiple files using FTP. Please see more details here: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/media_libraries_overview.htm

Is that suitable for you? If not, please let us know how exactly you want to use your media files. Thank you.

Best regards
Ondrej Vasil

Hi,

Media library is available also for Free edition - feature matrix.

Any way, you can try to use the File import module as well.

Hi Vinay,

Has the video been imported succeessfully without any errors? Is it displayed in content tree under the document you had chosen as a Target alias path in import process?

By default, videos imported to the content tree cannot be viewed directly in the browser but they must be downloaded first. Isn't this the problem you are experiencing?

Best regards,
Filip Ligac

RE:uploading multiple images into a folder in CMS desk
Hello,

I am sorry but this does not make any sense. This folder shall be used as a temporary folder where you will upload your files via FTP and then import them to the CMS content tree - file import. So, this folder is not designed to store the files for displaying. You should consider using e.g. media libraries for this purpose.

Also, please see the file management chapter of our documentation.

Best regards,
