Florestan -> RE: Where to Upload Save Files (7/19/2010 10:42:51 AM)

You don't really need to install anything to upload on a ftp server. Some people don't want to install something on their computer to do this, so here is how to use it for an upload. There is a command line ftp client shipped with windows. I'm quite sure it was here even since the 16 bits version of windows (windows 3.1, before windows 95), if not in MSDOS. To use it : First, copy the savegame file in the root directory of your windows partition. You could do otherwise, but it would be more complicated. In windows use the key combination windows + r (holding the windows key down, then hit and release the r key), then, type cmd, in the black ugly command line window, type in order(valid with return key for each line) : cd \ (don't use mistake the '\' for a '/'...) ftp beta.matrixgames.com wait until it ask for a user name, then type :DistantWorldsCustomer And, as a password, that will not appear on the screen, even as asterisks :upload Then use the commandsend "thenameofthefile.zip" (of course, change the name for the one of your file, don't forget the '"') Wait for it to finish the send. It can take from a few seconds (on a fiber optic internet connexion) to hours (on the oldest xdsl technologies) depending on your connexion quality (and the one of matrix games server, and the traffic). If you make any mistake, you will have to restart from the windows+r phase, unless you have an idea of what the instructions mean. You will have to take less than 120s between each command, from the moment you type "ftp ..." or you may have to restart, too. When finished, you can simply close the window with the usual red cross in the right upper corner, or if you want to do it with class, you can type both those commands, in order, the first quitting the ftp client program, the second the command line interface:quit exit
