<h1>Configuring Filezilla to upload photos etc.</h1>
|
|
<p>Before continuing, make sure that you have the "cavey:beery" password for the expo server. You will need it.
|
|
|
|
<p>Having installed Filezilla using the <a href="uploading.html#install">installation instructions</a>, you now need to import a configuration file to set it up to use with the public expo server.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Download the configuration file <a download href="zilla-uploads.xml">zilla-uploads.xml</a> to your default downloads folder. (Select the option to download it in the pop-up, you don't want to open it in a web browser.)
|
|
<li>Open Filezilla and start it running.
|
|
<li>Click on the "File" menu item, and select the "Import..." command, this will open a file browser on your local machine
|
|
<li>Navigate to your default downloads folder and select the <b>zilla-uploads.xml</b> file.
|
|
<li>Now select 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>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.
|
|
<li>Now check that these Filezilla settings are set correctly:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>In the "Transfer" menu, ensure that "Preserve timestamps of transferred files" is <em>ticked</em>. Yes,you want to keep the timestamps.
|
|
<li>In the "View" menu,ensure that "Synchronized browsing" is <em>NOT ticked</em>.
|
|
(This will be greyed-out if you are not actually connected to the remote fileserver.)<br>
|
|
It is vital that this is un-ticked because you don't have a complete copy of the entire server website on your laptop, and Filezilla
|
|
may try to delete things on the server which you don't have on your laptop, i.e.most of it.
|
|
This setting should be fixed automatically in <b>zilla-uploads.xml</b> but we have seen occasions where it
|
|
seems to have been re-set somehow.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>Now you are in and can copy and move files anywhere. But please don't: stick to copying files from your machine (the left window) to the server (the right window):<br><br>
|
|
|
|
<a href="fzexample.png" border=2><img src="fzexample.png" align=center width=65%></a><br>(Click to enlarge).
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once you have uploaded your files, ask someone who knows to move them to the right place.
