Uploading your finished scan

Note WinBMD has a built in file management system. See the help file associated with this program.

The following instructions relate to users of SpeedBMD and MacBMD although they can be used by users of WinBMD if required.

  1. Go to http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/
  2. Click on 'Transcribers Page'
  3. When it opens scroll down to File Management & click on 'Manage your files'
  4. When it opens put in your registration name and password. Click on login. Do not use the username and password provided to access the scans.
  5. When it opens click on 'Upload new file'
  6. For the 'Upload' box - click on Browse. Select the C:\SPEEDBMD or C:\Program Files\WinBMD\Output folder if using WinBMD.  Click on the file you wish to upload which will be in the form YYEQ????.sca (e.g. 40M20234.sca. The path and filename will be added to the box. e.g. 'C:\SPEEDBMD\40M20234.sca'
  7. For the 'File name' box - discard the path information (everything up to and including the last backslash) and the last four characters. This will leave a filename similar to 40M20234. Please ensure that you always use upper case letters as per my examples.
  8. Click 'Send' and in a few moments you should get a Created screen.
  9. To check the file is there, scroll down and click on 'Back to file management' and you should now see it!
