1. Instruction Guide to Upload Game Results
2. Instruction Guide to View Game Results

3. To begin uploading your game results, go to this web address and type in your username, password.

Q: After viewing files on a diskette or thumb drive, when I view a second one the new files aren't displayed in Filezilla. How do I see the new files?

A: Click somewhere on the left window (drive A:) or the thumb drive, and then click on View | Refresh.

Q: How do I delete an FTP Site I accidentally set up?

A: Launch Filezilla. Click File | Site Manager. Click once on the site you want to remove so that it's highlighted under "My FTP Sites". Click Delete. This does not delete files on the web site, it only removes the site from Filezilla.

Q: There's not enough room in the left hand window.

A: Enlarge the window to full screen by double clicking on the menu bar (blue bar on the top of the Filezilla window).

Q: Which window shows my hard drive local and which shows the web site?

A: The left window is your local drive. Using it is very similar to using Windows Explorer. The right window is your web site. You have to have clicked on Connect with one of your FTP Sites before any files or folders show up.
