Folks, I have decided to offer a file server that folks can use to post photos on this board. This is a test service and I will operate it as long as the old server has space and it is easy to manage. Trainnews has moved to a new server so the old server became available.

If you want to test it out follow the instructions below, I have tested them and they do work. One hint is to preview your post to ensure that the down load is working correctly.

Photo Server Instructions

During the maintenance period this morning I added an FTP site that you can use to post photos on Altamont Press.

Follow the directions below to save photos:

1) in Windows explorer enter "ftp://trainnews.webhop.org" (w/o quotes)
2) once the window opens right clich the mouse and select "login as"
3) enter photos for the login and trainnews for the password
4) copy you photo to the file server
5) close the window when you photos are copied

To post the picture copy the text below into you posting and replace FILENAME.JPG with your photos filename.




I am running this as a test and have a smaller disk assigned to the service, please limit you photos to a max size of 800 x 600 as this will fill the screen in the post and leave more space for others. I will delete photos above 384K and also move photos them into an archive periodically.

Please send comments or questions on the photo server to trainnews@att.net
