Hi Everyone,

For those that upload files, the system used at hobbes is CASE sensitive. Please ensure all the text matches between the file name and the template file that goes with it. (the filenames, not the contents of the template)

Also, if replacing an earlier file, make sure that the case listed matches the file listed found in the archive.

The easiest option is to ensure all file names are lowercase.

The Hobbes maintainers have been working on re enabling file renaming in the incoming directory, unfortunetly due to the FTP server software they have to use [which is very secure], and site policy, there are limits as to what can be done.

"As far as uploading and renaming goes, we are using vsftp which though it is secure, it does not allow limiting the renames.  to work around this issue we have set a chown to disable the rename after a short period of time.  It is our compromise on the rename.

I agree that it may cause havok but permitting renames has been an issue the Hobbes community seems to desire, as we have had a lot of complaints about not permitting renaming."

Be aware that in testing renaming is only available for a few minutes after uploading a file.

Please also be aware that the HTTP URL's have changed from the previous server that hobbes was hosted on.
