191004 - submitted to Wayne last night in response to his letter, ref DRP 1
191005 - 0001, explaining he is back from traveling and can work on setting up
191006 - SDS on his home computer. ref SDS 11 ZG4N
191007 -
191008 -     [On 040331 Wayne reports the FTP program files are received and
191009 -     installed. ref SDS 12 0001
191011 -  ..
191012 - The report is that the attached zip files to install the wsftp program
191013 - exceeded the capacity of Wayne's email system.
191015 -  ..
191016 - To work around this problem, created two zip files....
191017 -
191018 -        cs1.zip............................... 2.6 MB
191019 -
191020 -             Contains all of the primary setup files for wsftp version
191021 -             5, which are needed to make the first installation step
191022 -             explained in the record on 010202, ref SDS 1 4945, cited
191023 -             in the letter to Wayne yesterday. ref SDS 11 II5W
191025 -              ..
191026 -             This file can be unzipped into...

191037 -             There is no need to configure wsfpt at this point, until
191038 -             after getting the upgrade files with a second download.
191039 -             Send a letter explaining the first file cs1.zip has been
191040 -             downloaded.

191047 -        cs2.zip............................... 3.0 MB
191048 -
191049 -             Contains files that are needed to upgrade the initial
191050 -             installation in two further steps in order to run under
191051 -             XP and operate normal FTP tasks to work with SDS.
191052 -
191053 -             This file will be unzipped into...

191061 -
191062 -             ...so that now the above directory contains all of the
191063 -             files needed to configure wsftp for SDS.
191065 -              ..
191066 -             Used these additional files to upgrade the initial
191067 -             installation, per above, ref SDS 0 OJ62, and then
191068 -             configure wsftp for access to welchco.com using params in

191070 -
191072 -  ..
191073 - Sent another letter to Wayne linked to the letter last night, and to
191074 - this record this morning explaining that after Wayne downloads the
191075 - first file cs1.zip, he can let me know, and I will submit the second
191076 - file cs2.zip.

1914 -
191401 - Received letter from Wayne saying...
191402 -
191403 -        Email is working at office today, so I downloaded cs1.zip and
191404 -        saved it to a CD.  If you can get the other half to me before
191405 -        4:30 p.m. my time, I can also get it at the office, where it
191406 -        only takes about 3 seconds to download 3 mb. I will then
191407 -        transfer them to the home computer, unzip them per directions
191408 -        and see how things go.
191410 -  ..
191411 - Submitted the 2nd half of wsftp.

1915 -
1916 -
1917 - 1435
1918 -
191801 - Got a message from the web server reporting that cs2.zip is too big
191802 - for Wayne's email directory, so tried to submit the file to Wayne's
191803 - office email address since his letter letter says he is working at the
191804 - office. ref SDS 0 MG7G

191807 -  ..

1922 -
192201 - Wayne called and said he received the email with notice of cs2.zip
192202 - attached, but the attachment was severed from the letter protocols
192203 - managed by the IT department that check all email attachments that
192204 - have a zip, exe and similar actionable filename extensions.  He will
192205 - have to contact the IT department to tell them to forward the
192206 - attachment, but the department closes at 1500.
192208 -  ..
192209 - Decided to divide cs2.zip into two smaller files and send them to
192210 - Wayne's home address so he can work on this step this evenig, if he
192211 - has time.
192212 -
192214 -  ..
1923 -
1924 -
1925 - 1631
1926 -
192601 - Deleted cs2.zip and assembled another version that contains only one
192602 - of the program installation upgrades.  Then created cs3.zip that has
192603 - the 2nd and final installation upgrade processors.
192605 -  ..
192606 - Submitted another letter to Wayne saying...

192613 -         ..
192614 -    2.  Wayne,
192616 -         ..
192617 -    3.  Per our telecon this afternoon, since you indicated that
192618 -        cs2.zip would not pass the security checks at BLM, will try
192619 -        breaking the file into smaller elements and sending them to
192620 -        your home.
192622 -         ..
192623 -    4.  Here is cs2.zip which contains only ftppatch.exe
192625 -         ..
192626 -    5.  After unzipping the file, move it into directory...
192627 -
192628 -            c: sd 01 wsftp
192629 -
192630 -
192631 -        ...then send me a letter letting me know you have cleared it
192632 -        from your email directory on the server, and I will send the
192633 -        next file.
192635 -         ..
192636 -    6.  After you get it, you should be all set to install wsftp, and
192637 -        then we can use the web to work more efficiently in terms of
192638 -        transferring files.
192640 -         ..
192641 -    7.  Thanks.

193019 -    2.  Wayne,
193021 -         ..
193022 -    3.  Attached is cs3.zip which is the final submission on transferring
193023 -        files for wspft.  After unzipping please copy wsftp605.exe into
193024 -
193025 -             c: sd 01 wsftp
193026 -
193027 -        ...which will then have all of the files needed to configure
193028 -        wsftp using guidance in the record on 010202. ref SDS 1 4945
193030 -         ..
193031 -    4.  Please let me know when you are up and running.
193032 -
193033 -            [On 040331 Wayne reports the FTP program files are received
193034 -            and installed. ref SDS 12 0001
193036 -         ..
193037 -    5.  You can then download the driveworks dir from the web at...
193038 -
193039 -             http://www.welchco.com/10/
193040 -
193041 -        ...and put the stuff on a floppy disk.
193043 -         ..
193044 -    6.  You then need to create a boot disk for XP, if one did not come
193045 -        with the system.  Gary says there is something specific in the
193046 -        Control Panel for XP that sets up a single floppy to boot XP,
193047 -        and can then install driveworks, per Gary's report on 040323
193048 -        that he has used this procedure successfully. ref SDS 9 W58Y
193050 -         ..
193051 -    7.  Since I have not done this procedure I am still a little hazy
193052 -        about the details, and so am sending Gary a copy of this letter
193053 -        and request that he submit clarifications, if needed.
193055 -         ..
193056 -    8.  For example, is Driveworks installed for use with the procedure
193057 -        Gary describes, or is this a procedure to apply driveworks for
193058 -        partitioning the disk using the code on the floppy?  I am
193059 -        guessing the latter, because otherwise we would be talking
193060 -        about an application Icon on the desktop, and not sure how that
193061 -        can occur when installing software from a floppy with the boot
193062 -        disk procedure.  But, maybe so.
193064 -         ..
193065 -    9.  In any case, please feel free to coordinate directly with Gary
193066 -        for any clarifications on how he used driveworks to set up the
193067 -        disk partitions.
193069 -         ..
193070 -   10.  Once you have the driveworks, please delete it from the web.
193071 -        The wsftp program has a utility for this.
193073 -         ..
193074 -   11.  This may be redundant, but since you have plenty of disk space
193075 -        recommend something like the following...
193076 -
193077 -             d: 2 GB
193078 -             e: 3 GB
193079 -             f: 3 GB
193080 -             h: 10 GB
193081 -             i: 5 GB
193083 -         ..
193084 -   12.  Let me know when things are set up and we can then configure
193085 -        SDS and so some orientation.
193087 -         ..
193088 -   13.  Thanks.
