Instructions for Uploading Images and Video Related to the Columbia Accident

For anyone who has recorded video or taken photos that they believe may be of aid in the investigation of the Space Shuttle Columbia accident, NASA has established a special location on the Web where Internet users may upload their media files to be reviewed by NASA.

Using the FTP method of your choice, log on to the server 38.201.67.72 as "anonymous," using your e-mail address as your password.

Along with any image or video file that you wish to upload, please include a text file containing your name and a detailed description of the time and location at which the image or video was taken.

Please be sure that your media file and your text file conform to the following naming convention: your first and last name, an underscore, the date the files are being uploaded, another underscore and the time the files are being uploaded. Other than the file extension (.jpg, .txt, .rm), the names of the two files you upload should be the same.

Then, upload your media and text files.

Please note that files contained on this site are not listable. Therefore, users will not be able to view any files uploaded to the server, including their own.

If you have any problems uploading your files, please e-mail Mike Koester.
