1118 -
1119 - 1137 talked to Erik Mullinik
1120 -
112001 - Asked about status of transfering our domain from Barberra to a
112002 - different server that is less tasked with http operations, per work
112003 - with Lance yesterday. ref SDS 11 2528
112004 - ..
112005 - Erik said Lance has not come to work yet.  His shift starts
112006 - later in the afternoon.
112007 -
112008 - Erik went off-line and came back about 5 minutes later and said JPS
112009 - has not yet transferred our domain to a different server.  He put me
112010 - on hold to investigate when the transfer is expected to occur.
112011 -
112012 - He came back on-line and reported on discussions with Biz Tech.
112013 -
112014 - They said the domain transfer will will be done sometime after
112015 - midnight by Biz Tech, so that we will have access to the Web site by
112016 - 0800 tomorrow morning.
112017 -
112018 - Erik asked me to try to connect via FTP now, and to advise of the
112019 - error message we are getting.
112020 -
112021 - I ran the wsftp pro program, and got a series of messages that
112022 - indicated our password is incorrect.
112023 -
112024 - Erick said that multiple tries can result in wsftp pro concatonating
112025 - the password.
112026 -
112027 - I checked and noticed the password string seems too long.
112028 -
112029 - I entered it again, and was able to access the server.
112030 - ..
112031 - Erik said I can go ahead and upload information.  He said all of
112032 - our files will be transferred to the other server by Biz Tech, when
112033 - they make the domain transfer.
112034 -
112035 - He asked me to try to connect via FTP in about an hour, and again at
112036 - 1730 via FTP.
112037 -
112038 - Erik wants to a report on whether we were able to connect.  He will
112039 - submit the report to Biz Tech.

1124 -
112401 - Report to Erik on Upload Results
112402 -
112403 - Due to press of other business, did not have time to make transfer at
112404 - 1300 or 1700, but am doing it now.
112405 -
112406 - Prepared ref DIT 1 to make initial submission.  Then will edit to
112407 - incorporate results of effort.
112408 -
112409 - When I executed wsftp pro, it connected successfully immediately.
112410 -
112411 - Did 5 or 6 more transfers and all were successful.
112412 -
112413 -  ..
112414 -
112415 - If JPS determines that the problems encountered yesterday with the
112416 - server, Barberra, are just as likely to occur on the server they are
112417 - proposing that Welch use, then there is no point to make the transfer.
112418 -
112419 - Welch approved and agreed to the transfer solely on notice and advice
112420 - that the other server is less susceptible to the problems encountered
112421 - on Barberra. ref SDS 11 2528
