<h1>Configuring Filezilla to upload photos etc.</h1>
coming soon..
UNDER REVISION
[[This will have a configuration file to download and use..]]
<p>
but it's easy, just connect to ftp://expo.survex.com and type in the usual password when a popup asks you. Go to the folder /expofiles/uploads and dump your stuff there. Then ask someone who knows to move it to the right place.
<h2>More expert use</h2>
Instead of putting everything in /expofiles/uploads/ why not do it properly? Go back to the "Uploading Photos" page and find out.

<h2>Simple instructions</h2>
<ol>
<li>Use the Expo laptop in the tatty hut. Get someone to show you how to do it.

<p>That's it. There used to be other ways of doing it using browser extensions but these either don't work anymore [since 2017] or the instructions to install them properly have become too complicated.
<p>Beginners should always put all their files into the folder <b>/home/expo/expofiles/uploads/</b> and ask an admin to move them to the right place.

<p>The expo website has a big section under 'home/expo/expofiles/' that is <b>not under version control</b>. This is dangerous as there is no backup. If you overwrite some important files with your holiday snaps then we are in big trouble. This is where we store big files that we don't want to keep multiple versions of.
<p>So beginners should always put all their files into the folder /home/expo/expofiles/uploads/ and ask an admin to move them to the right place. To make his or her life easier, create your own folder in /expofiles/uploads/ with your name like this: /home/expo/expofiles/uploads/ClarkKent/ and put your files into that folder.

<pre>/home/expo/expofiles/uploads/</pre> and ask an admin to move them to the right place. The configuration which you just did (if you followed <a href="fzconfig.html">the instructions</a>) will set you up pointing at the correct folder automatically.

To make the admin's life easier, create your own folder in <pre>/home/expo/expofiles/uploads/</pre> with your name like this: <pre>/home/expo/expofiles/uploads/YourName/</pre> and put your files into that folder. ("YourName" should have no spaces, hyphens or underline characters.) So that the admin knpows who is responsible. And for goodness sake please don't upload lots of duplicate photos: cull them first to just the good ones.

<p>Obviously replace 'YourName' with your actual name (no spaces!). It is important that you get this right as this specific way of writing your name is standardised across the website. Use the year that the photo was taken or the GPStrack logged.</p>
