Upload Error Messages
The following error messages may appear when uploading files.
A file with the same name is already available. The uploaded file was renamed to "filename(1).ext"
This message indicates that the uploaded file name is already in use by another file in the same folder. To avoid a conflict, a consecutive number, the "(1)", gets appended to the original name.
Invalid file
The file that you attempted to upload was not accepted. The most common cause for this message is that the file extension is not allowed for security reasons. The file size might also be too large (the maximum file size accepted is 15mb).
Upload cancelled for security reasons. The file contains HTML-like data.
The uploaded file contains HTML code. For security reasons, only files with selected extensions are allowed to contain HTML code.
