That worked; infinite thanks. I will mention to future folks with the same problem that I had to type in the address in the "Location:" bar after clicking upload. I had been trying to navigate to it with the locations listed on the left, and I couldn't find it. I typed in " /media/sf_folder/file.sws " Where the shared folder I had created was C:/Users/Me/blahblahblah/folder . Somehow, it just takes the folder name without the path to it, and appends " sf_ " to the front of it. I had put file.sws in C:/Users/Me/blahblahblah/folder on my new computer. It took me a while to pull it off my old computer, too. I did so by, in my open worksheet, clicking "publish", and then opening a web browser in windows, going to the location it told me after I published, which was http://localhost:8000/pub/0/ , and then clicking download. file.sws was then in my Downloads folder in windows, and I took it from there.
Thanks again, and I hope future troubleshooters will benefit from my short story. PS - at some point, Right-Ctrl + F7 worked! Thanks for that, too! On a different machine, Right-Ctrl + F2 worked fine. On Tuesday, June 3, 2014 1:30:21 AM UTC-7, P Purkayastha wrote: > sws file should be "uploaded" to the sage notebook.
