Use the Export Files to Database button to create new remote files at Revision 1 from the local files.

This button is always enabled when connected to the remote database as long as some local files exist.
 
Use the Create New Revision of Files button to copy the selected local files to a new revision of the selected filess. This button is only enabled when connected to a remote database, when a set of remote files settings are selected, and when some local files exist.
 
Use the Read Files from Database button to read files back from the database. This copies the remote files to the local computer as a zip archive. The user will be prompted for a file name.
