<p>As well as looking through the other plastic wallets in this year's lever-arch binder, have a look online at
the <ahref="/survey_scans/">list of all online wallets</a> and have a look at all the folders referred to
in your cave in, e.g. here is the data for <ahref="/survexfile/204">cave 204</a>: the wallet identifier is
in the right-most column titles "Scans". If you are doing an entirely new cave, then this won't exist yet but it
will be where your new discovery is eventually published.
<p>As well as following through the links on those pages, have a look at the <ahref="/tunneldata/">drawings files page</a> which lists all the scanned notes, plan and elevation scans in the each wallet ("Scans folder" column).
for the <ahref="onlinewallet.html">online wallet maintenance process</a> ].
<p>If your initial backup photos of your notes were poor quality, use the
scanner in the potato hut to make better copies. Scan to JPEG format as .jpg files.
<p>Name the scanned pages "<em>notes-1.jpg</em>, or <em>notes-cavepassagename.jpg</em>" etc. This is important as a script detects whether these files exist
(with names beginning "notes..", "plan.." and "elev..") and if you name them something else it will hassle you unnecessarily.
<p>[ Note to maintainers: do not rename these files even if they have been created with the wrong names.
They are permanently referred to by the tunnel/therion/troggle system !]
<p>Scanned survey notes are voluminous and so are not kept in the version control system. Instead it is all kept
in the file bucket "expofiles" on the expo server in Cambridge.
<p>You will be using the expo laptop to do the scanning
and you will put all the scan files in the folder for your wallet, e.g. for 2018#19 it is:
<pre>
/home/expo/expofiles/surveyscans/2018/2018#19/
</pre>
and tell someone nerdy when you have finished and they will
ensure that it is copied to the expo server.

If you want to do this yourself on your own laptop then be aware that
since 2018 this is all more involved because of the enforced security on our new server. First you need a <ahref="../computing/basiclaptop.html">minimal laptop setup</a> and then you will need to
learn how to use Filezilla
- as <ahref="../uploading.html">documented for uploading your expo photographs</a>. The correct folder
on the expo server is the same as that on the expo laptop- because we set up the expo laptop to be like that.
But <em>only copy files to the server that you created yourself and which live in your own wallet folder</em>

<h3id="runsurvex">Storing your electronic survey .topo files</h3>
<p>If you used a PDA instead of making notes on paper, you need to store your .topo files in the right place.
<p>If you using the expo laptop you can put the .topo files in a special "X" folder for your virtual
wallet, as there is no physical wallet,
e.g. for 2018#X16 it would be:
<pre>
/home/expo/expofiles/surveyscans/2018/2018#X16/
</pre>
and tell someone nerdy when you have finished and they will
ensure that it is copied from the <em>expo laptop</em> to the expo server.
<p>If you are not in the potato hut then email all the .topo files
to a friendly nerd (not necessarily on expo) who will upload them in the right place.
