Re: [Glamtools] Using an open FTP server

Hi everyone, I don`t know if this has been mentioned before, but I wanted to know if GWToolset (including beta cluster) is capable of extracting images from an open FTP server? I am working on putting the digitized collection of the Neuchatel Herbarium on Commons using the GWToolset, and for that purpose I made a simple xml file where the <url> links to an open FTP server and tested it on the beta cluster, but did not have any luck. Here is the text of the xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <record> <filename>Neuchâtel Herbarium - Acer campestre - NEU000026001</filename> <institution>Institution:University of Neuchâtel</institution> <photographer>Neuchâtel Herbarium</photographer> <taxon>Acer campestre</taxon> <description>Dried pressed specimen of Polystichum lobatum</description> <url>ftp://sitelftp.unine.ch/WMEDIA/Acer/Aceraceae/campestre/NEU000026001.tiff</url> </record> Here is the text of the error message I am receiving: The media file URL could not be evaluated. The URL delivers the content in a way that is not yet handled by this extension or there was an HTTP request issue. URL given was "ftp://sitelftp.unine.ch/WMEDIA/Acer/Aceraceae/campestre/NEU000026001.tiff". HTTP request error "Invalid URL: $1". I would highly appreciate receiving some feedback from someone who has already had an experience using an FTP server. Best regards, Rromir Imami Intern at Wikimedia CH
