How to upload an MP3 of the show
0. Uploading from home is different and easier than uploading from 2SER or a University computer due to permission problems.
1. Browse to http://www.archive.org/create/
2. In the top right hand corner of the page, next to "Anonymous User" click on the "login" link, and enter discovery@2ser.com and the password privately emailed to you, click "OK" to bring on the next page
3. Enter the "Item identifier" in the format "diffusionYYYY-MM-DD", same name as you gave the MP3 file diffusionYYY-MM-DD.mp3 (where YYY is the 4 digit year, MM is the 2 digit month, and DD is the two digit day), and click submit. A message should appear in your browser telling you they have created an FTP directory for uploading
4.a archive.org create a different URL for every session, and you need to copy and paste the URL they give you on the screen to upload the MP3 file.
Or you can open Windows Explorer from Start->Program Files->Accessories, and copy and paste the URL from "Using Windows Internet Explorer" on the archive.org page in your browser.
Log in using "discovery@2ser.com" as the user (no inverted commas), and the same password as step 2. You will find that archive.org have created a directory "diffusionYYYY-MM-DD", click to enter it.
4b. At 2SER you can open Windows Explorer from Start->Program Files->Accessories, and copy and paste the URL from "Using Windows Internet Explorer" on the archive.org page in your browser, making sure that the address in the address bar starts with "ftp://". Then you can drag the file from the Diffusion folder to Windows Explorer and drop it to upload the file.
Internet Explorer at 2SER won't let you upload any files.
