Re: Question on file transfer to Backstage
Hello, Our library uses Innovative Interfaces. I am new to the Acquisitions position and I want to send Backstage our item additions from the past year to update our Master file and create Name and Subject headings for our new materials. The first problem I have is with getting logged onto the server - I cannot gain access. The info to log onto their server that I have is 'ftp mars.bslw.com' - Is this correct? I also am curious if anyone else has had experience with sending files to Backstage using III. I may not have the right file setup in III to send to Backstage. Is there anyone that can give me assistance? Thank you, Amber Bice Acquisitions Librarian Serials/ILL Librarian Franklin University Nationwide Library 303 S.

Amber, yes that is the correct address. After you've put in your username and password, you need to change the directory. If I'm using WS_FTP, I often forget about this -- I get the message 'No data sets retrieved. !Retrieve of folder listing failed (0)' That always makes me think I didn't connect. I did connect; it just makes me think I didn't. Could that possibly be the problem, maybe? If not, I guess you'd need to make sure your user name and password are correct. Our library uses Horizon, so I can't help you with the III questions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeanette Navia Technical Services Professional Williamsburg Regional Library 7770 Croaker Road Williamsburg, VA 23188 (757)259-7742 www.wrl.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
