The Media Manager enables you upload, delete and organise your media files within Mambo for use in various articles on your Web site - it serves essentially, as a replacement for FTP transfer of media files. The Media Manager only works under the /images/stories directory. If you need to upload media files in other location you have to do it through FTP.Note also that batch uploading is not possible with the Media Manager.
