Hi @vdavis345 ,

Does it need to be done via file explorer (windows gui?) or can the files just be manipulated directly at the OS level (much easier)?

If the files just be manipulated directly at the OS level, [OperatingSystem](https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/libraries/OperatingSystem.html) has keywords for manipulating local files and folders, create, edit, rename, delete etc

As for uploading, that will depend on what the upload process is, [POST](https://marketsquare.github.io/robotframework-requests/doc/RequestsLibrary.html#POST) from [RequestsLibrary](https://marketsquare.github.io/robotframework-requests/doc/RequestsLibrary.html) will let you upload to a web server, likewise [Send Cmd](https://kowalpy.github.io/Robot-Framework-FTP-Library/FtpLibrary.html#Send%20Cmd) from [FtpLibrary](https://kowalpy.github.io/Robot-Framework-FTP-Library/FtpLibrary.html) will let you upload via ftp, there are numerous other methods for “uploading” knowing which you need will determine which library to use.

Hope that helps,

Dave.
