Subject:  [VOICENWS] Net: Hobbes incoming information

Hi Everyone,

For those that upload files, the system used at hobbes is CASE sensitive. 
Please ensure all the text matches between the file name and the template 
file that goes with it. (the filenames, not the contents of the template)

Also, if replacing an earlier file, make sure that the case listed matches 
the file listed found in the archive.

The easiest option is to ensure all file names are lowercase.

The Hobbes maintainers have been working on re enabling file renaming in 
the incoming directory, unfortunetly due to the FTP server software they 
have to use [which is very secure], and site policy, there are limits as to 
what can be done.

 >From Debi at hobbes.nmsu.edu

"As far as uploading and renaming goes, we are using vsftp which though it 
is secure, it does not allow limiting the renames.  to work around this 
issue we have set a chown to disable the rename after a short period of 
time.  It is our compromise on the rename.

I agree that it may cause havok but permitting renames has been an issue 
the Hobbes community seems to desire, as we have had a lot of complaints 
about not permitting renaming."

Be aware that in testing renaming is only available for a few minutes after 
uploading a file.

Please also be aware that the HTTP URL's have changed from the previous 
server that hobbes was hosted on.

Cheers
