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.
