One problem: Both files in the zip folders have the same name, so the first
gets overwritten by the second. So between steps 4 and 5, you need to rename
the first downloaded file before downloading the second.

Subject: [KYARC] URGENT: Current (and hopefully last) Changes
David Crosby has finished moving the KY files to the
usgwarchives.net
server. All of the links in your text and html files have already been
updated, so you should be ready to go as soon as you do a couple of
things. Here's what you all need to do:
1. Delete all of the text files and html files from your computer for
your archives counties. Do NOT delete any images (pictures, documents,
tombstone photos, etc.) unless you want to download the same files again.
2. In your ftp program, change the host name to
usgwarchives.net instead
of
usgwarchives.org. The username (kyuser) and password remain the same
as they were on
usgwarchives.org. NOTE: The username and password on the
usgwarchives.org server will no longer work.
3. Log into the
usgwarchivs.net server and open the zipfolder. In that
folder, you'll find two other folders, zipftp and ziphtml.
4. Open the zipftp folder and find your county's zip file. Download this
file to your computer. Open the ziphhtml folder and find your county's
zip file. Download this file to your computer.
5. Unzip both of the zip files that you just downloaded and you're ready
to go.
The
usgwarchives.org server will still be operational, but it will be
mirrored from the
usgwarchives.net server. It may run a few days behind,
though.
All submissions through the automated forms will go to the
usgwarchives.net server. As mentioned above, our username and password
for the
usgwarchives.org server have been changed and will no longer work.
Please give your county a quick look and make sure that you've not got any
broken links. David has mentioned that there are some broken links in
some of the states, but no specifics were given as to which county/state.
If you have questions, please let me know. I'm heading for work shortly,
but will check things when I get home tonight.
Thanks,
Sherri
