What you are trying to do is to get your happy holiday snaps appear <i>properly indexed</i> with all the others from the previous decades of expo history. You can see them all here: <br/><a
<p>The <ahref="https://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?topic=25195.msg310908#msg310908">UK Caving blog</a> requires that
photos in it are actually hosted elsewhere. This needs to be a permanent place so
that the blogs can be read in years to come. Imgur, Flikr or Instagram are OK though not ideal (expo has its own Instagram account) but
your personal GoogleDocs or GooglePhotos stash definitely is not.
Preferably
they should be put on the expo server e.g. 2018 blog photos are permanently archived on <ahref="http://expo.survex.com/expofiles/photos/2018/BlogPostPhotos/">expo.survex.com<b>/expofiles/</b>photos/2018/BlogPostPhotos/</a> in the published resolution.
<p>OK the admin/nerd you have been asking to move the files to the right place on the <i>expo laptop</i> is getting fed up and now wants you to put the uploaded photos in the right place yourself and not just in /uploads/. This is where they go:
<p>Obviously replace /2019/ with the current year. This is the expo year the photos are taken, so if you are uploading a previous years' photos which you never got around to uploading you will use /2018/ or whatever.
<p>OK the files have been put into the correct place on the laptop by an experienced user and now you need to copy them to the
server. Don't worry about deleting them from the <i>expo laptop</i> after copying as we can do that clean-up at the end of expo. In
fact <i>don't</i> delete them from /uploads/ on the <i>expo laptop</i>, moved them to a sub-folder called "already_uploaded" or somesuch in the same folder
<li>Start up Filezilla - click on red "Fz" logo in the application favourites bar on the laptop desktop.
<li>Click on the "Bookmarks" menu item:
<ul>
<li>At the bottom of the "Bookmarks" drop-down menu you may see "expo-uploads";
if so, click on it.
<li>If you can't see "expo-uploads" in that menu
(because this is temporarily broken in version 3.28 of Filezilla),
click on the "File" menu item and select "Site Manager...".
This will display a tree-structured menu in a sub-window and one of the items will be "expo-uploads". Highlight it
and then click on the "Connect" button at the bottom of the sub-window.
</ul>
<li>If this is the first time it is used this expo you will now be prompted for the password for the expo server. This is the "cavey:beery" one which we never write down or write in emails. Get it verbally or by phone or secure text message from another expoer.
</ul>
<p>Now you are in and can copy and move files anywhere. But please stick to copying files from your machine (the left window) to the server (the right window) into the /uploads/, /photos/ or /gpslogs/ folders only:<br><br>

But <em>none of this will work</em> on new machine until you have also done the <ahref="keyexchange.html">key-pair setup</a> procedure.
<p>To use your own laptop on expo, or after you return from expo, it needs to be an <ahref="bulkupdatelaptop.html">expo Bulk data laptop</a>, which takes quite a lot of effort to set up.
You need need to use FTP. So become an <ahref="#experienced">experienced user</a> first.
<p>You will need to know the expo password but <em>none of this will work</em> until you have also done the <ahref="keyexchange.html">key-pair setup</a> procedure and configured your Bulk Data laptop</p>
