Upload Files from Your Local Computer to the EX FTP Server Using FileZilla

All cruise participants may upload items to the UPLOAD folder with the cruise folder. Appropriate types of items include background datasets, maps, images, related articles, papers and publications, and other reference materials and documents. Uploading files must be done from an FTP client; you can not use web browser access to the FTP site for uploading.

All items in the UPLOAD folder will be downloadable by all other cruise participants and should be considered as public. This folder should NOT be used as a mechanism to distribute private or proprietary information as OER has no control over how cruise participants may use any items stored in the UPLOAD folder.

Following a cruise, any materials left in the UPLOAD folder may be added to the cruise archive. Again, please do NOT upload private or proprietary information to the UPLOAD folder.

Not all users have permission to upload files to other folders on the EX FTP Server. If you do not have access and believe you should, please contact the expedition coordinator.
