It is a method of sending files between two computers that requires a software program to accomplish the task. Think of it like Windows Explorer to move files between computers.

You need to have a server that acts as a holder where files can be uploaded to and downloaded from by parties who have access to that specific site, identified by their ISP numbers and not a name (like mtstars.com).

I currently do a small amount of transcription for a doctor's office and have been using Novuscript to transfer files and dictation.  Does anyone have any suggestions that might be less expensive that are HIPAA compliant for file transfer and dictation transfer.

It is transferring files.  You log onto the FTP site using software, such as Core FTP Lite that is free, then you can upload and download files on the company's FTP server.

Here's the link to the free download of Core FTP Lite.

this Productivity Talk board and I e-mailed the "moderator" of the board (and who seems to be the only person in the world who knows how to do this) two weeks ago and I've gotten no response, so that may just be a waste of time, but you could try it.  I have had to manually re-enter my auto corrects yet again.  I went from SmarType on YOG to DQS to new job in Word all in two months.  I so hope I don't have to do this again for a very long time.

Good luck.

Hello

I need to safely transfer audio files over the internet.  The physicians' office staff will be sending me the audio files, so this needs to be something fairly easy, so I can teach them, and it won't take too much of their time each week.  Picking up tapes is beginning to get too time consuming and uses a lot of gas.  Can anyone tell me the safest, easiest, and most cost effective way of doing this.  I bought each of the physicians a digital hand-held record that converts the files into wav files.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I also posted this on technical board, but I am desperate, as we need to begin the change ASAP.  Thank you!  Lynn

I am so so upset.  I have been working really hard at a job for over 2 months.  I am a QA editor.  Yesterday I was told in a tricky way that I would be making $15 less per day.  They tried to cover it up by saying I would be making MORE money because they are giving me more money.  I am so P'OD that I want to quit but I can't.  They said that I am FAST and so it should be no problem for me to make up the money.

I pointed out that I am actually getting a pay cut and the woman said she is very sorry but the decision came from "upper management."  It is a small company and I think she is part of the upper management.  HELP ME ... last night I drank wine and just went to bed crying.  I work so hard!

If you can solve this problem - you are really good!!  Here it is - The office I work for has just changed the margins and the bottom margin is now 0.3.  However, everytime that I change the margin, the computer automatically bumps it up to 0.46.

The computer savvy person in the home office believes that it has something to do with a preset margin minimum in the printer which will not allow it to accept the margin.  The computer tech where I bought the computer believes that also.  BUT - no one knows how to go about changing that. 

My printer is an HP PSC 2210 all-in-one.   Calling HP is not an option since the printer is possibly 4 to 5 years old and out of warranty so therefore the charge for their advice is not worth it!!

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions??  So far, this has stumped everyone!  Thanks in advance.

My docs just attach the voice file to the email and send it to me.  There is no encryption.  If you don't want to use email, you could use an FTP site I suppose for a safer transfer...

If your computer is about to bite the dust, if you have ANY computer geek friends who can build you a computer, ask them to do so.  My husband always rebuilds and updates my computer.  The cost for parts is about the same as the "sale" price on new computers and the advantage is that you can have it custom-built to your specifications.

Even if you have to go to a computer shop to have a computer built, it is still less expensive in the long run.  Initially it may cost $100 or more than that "sale" computer, but you won't run into problems like being forced to have Vista as your OS and trying to retrofit everything.

We have had a computer since about 1990 and, besides our very first, DOS-based computer, we have only bought two "brand new" computers.  One was when Windows first came out, and the second  was when I started working at home and needed my own computer.  At that time, Windows 95 had been out for a couple of years and most of the bugs had been worked out, so we took the plunge and bought a new one.  Since then, we have simply updated and upgraded, including adding a new hard drive, new motherboard, sound/video cards, flat screen monitor....

Just wanted to show you can get a "new" computer without buying a "brand-new" computer. If you see what I mean.....

I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank.  When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you
