SYMPTOMS
When you upload an HTML gallery to an FTP site in Microsoft Expression Media, all the files from the local folder to which you saved the HTML gallery are uploaded to the FTP site. However, you expect only the files that are related to the HTML gallery to be uploaded to the FTP site.

You experience this behavior if the following conditions are true:
 * You configure the option to upload the gallery to an FTP site when you create an HTML gallery.
 * You save the HTML gallery to a local folder that contains other files.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because of how Expression Media is designed. Expression Media lets you add the files that you want to be included in the FTP upload operation to the assets folder that contains the HTML gallery files.

Therefore, if you save the HTML gallery files to a local folder that already contains files, Expression Media uploads all the files to the FTP site.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, save the HTML gallery to a local folder that contains only the files that you want to be uploaded to the FTP site.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
In Expression Media, you can export an HTML gallery to an FTP location and to a local folder at the same time. If you specify a local folder that already contains files when you export the HTML gallery, Expression Media also uploads the files from that folder when Expression Media uploads the HTML gallery files to the FTP site.

In this scenario, you experience the following behavior, depending on the operating system that you are running:
 * On a computer that is running Microsoft Windows, Expression Media uploads all the required files and folders that are related to the HTML gallery. Additionally, Expression Media uploads any files that exist in the root directory of the local folder to which you saved the HTML gallery.

This means that Expression Media does not upload any subfolders of the local folder to which you saved the HTML gallery.
 * On a Macintosh, Expression Media uploads all the required files and folders that are related to the HTML gallery. Additionally, Expression Media uploads any files or folders that exist in the root directory of the local folder to which you saved the HTML gallery.

This means that Expression Media uploads any subfolders of the local folder to which you saved the HTML gallery.
