Uploading Files

Various procedures in RMS require you to upload ﬁles to the RMS server. These include:

• Uploading an Options File

• Uploading an RMS Conﬁguration File

• Uploading a DACS backup ﬁle for restoration

• Uploading a ﬁle to a DACS’ ﬁle system

• Uploading an XML ﬁle for model documentation

Selecting ﬁles for upload from shared network volumes (over Samba, NFS or Windows’ Network

Neighborhood) may produce unexpected results. If RMS indicates that an error has occurred after

uploading a ﬁle in this manner, try copying the ﬁle to your local PC from the remote system, and

select the local copy for ﬁle upload.

Also, depending on the computer and web browser that you are using to access RMS, when you

click on the “Browse...” button to upload a ﬁle, you may seemingly be unable to locate the desired

ﬁle on your computer. This happens because the RMS and DACS systems use unique ﬁle exten-

sions such as “.opt”, “.conf”, “.cfg”, etc.

Using Windows95/98/2000/ME/NT with either Netscape or Internet Explorer

In the dialog box that pops up after clicking the “Browse...” button, locate the pull-down menu

labeled “Files of type”. This may default to “HTML Files (*.htm,*.html)”. Click on the pull-down

menu, and select “All Files (*.*)”. This will allow you to access every kind of ﬁle on your com-

puter.

Also, when uploading ﬁles that MUST be named a certain way in order to work (e.g.,

“telestra.opt” or “telestra.conf”), be aware that the Windows operating system may try to force

capitalization to “Telestra.opt” or “Telestra.conf” in the upload form. You should ﬁrst click

“Browse...” to locate the ﬁle, then click “OK”. Check the ﬁlename in the slot of the upload form

before clicking “Upload File” button! If capitalization has been forced, change the ﬁlename to

all lower-case letters in the slot on the form before uploading. Failure to maintain all lower-case

ﬁlenames for these ﬁles will result in RMS not recognizing that they have been uploaded.

Using Linux systems (with KDE or Gnome) running Netscape

In the dialog box that pops up after clicking the “Browse...” button, locate the “Filter” section. If it

has a wildcard (*) with a ﬁle extension (e.g., “/home/me/*.html”) anywhere in that ﬁeld, you

should remove the “*.html” (or “*.whatever”). This will allow you to access every kind of ﬁle on

your local ﬁle system. If you’re running Mozilla (not recommended), look for the “Files of type”

menu, and make changes as described in the Windows section above.

Using MacOS with either Netscape or Internet Explorer

Users should be able to access any ﬁle on their system without making any changes to the pop-up

dialog box.
