Launch the Uploader Manager and open its Preferences, as shown in Figure 4.
5.
Click the Managed Servers option, add a New Host by typing in the Xinet Portal server’s URL, then click OK to register the address.
This will close the Preferences and reveal the Uploader Manager again.
6.
Use the pop-up list in the Uploader Manager’s upper left corner to select the Xinet Portal server you’ve just added to the Managed Server list.

Enter the PORTALADMIN password when requested to do so. If you haven’t already configured a Default configuration, you must do it now. (The configuration must be named Default.) If you already have a Default configuration, skip to Step 10.
Answer Yes to the question, Would you like to create one now? This will open the Configuration Creation Wizard.

When you have finished you should see a Default Uploader configuration for your server in the Uploader Manager. If everything is working properly, after authentication, you should, as a test, be able to download a copy of the Uploader using:
http://url_to_server/PORTAL/DISTRIBUTOR.php

<a class="_img_pad button_container {DISTRIBUTOR_ICON} {DISTRIBUTOR_DISPLAY}" href="{DISTRIBUTOR_LINK}" title="{LANG_DISTRIBUTOR}" onClick="return confirm('You are about to download an Uploader application. Do you want to proceed?')"><label class="button_label">{LANG_DISTRIBUTOR}</label></a>
