TYPO3 Images

If you want to manage the files that are behind the scenes the Filelist is the place to go. It has a folder tree and a list view of files in the folders. The default folder for admin users is the "fileadmin" located under the TYPO3 folder. These files are not used on the website directly. If you want to use them you can either link to the files from content elements or pick the files in the process of selecting files for content elements.

Instead of uploading the files with the "Browse" option one by one you can select multiple files already on the server. After saving the files are attached to the record and moved to the upload/pics folder where TYPO3 stores images attached to page content elements.

Browsing the image archive

If you use the images module instead of Filelist you will have a larger view of the images.

The functionality is similar to Filelist. You can also enable little thumbnails in the Filelist module.

Uploading images

You can upload images to the archive through FTP. But you can also upload directly in the File module. Just click on the folder icon and the menu will appear. Clicking Upload files will bring up a form where you can upload files. The context menu also allows renaming, coping, deleting, etc.
