Upload files to the hosted repository

The current release version of XNAT Desktop actually can only upload one experiment at a time. Using this version, to upload each experiment, select it in the tag view hierarchy and use the upload tool as shown below.

A new version of XNAT Desktop to be released soon supports uploading multiple experiments, and has also a number of important upload bug fixes.
