First time using this method to upload my MNNH update. I've tried uploading a few times, but have had no success. Always a rookie who appreciates any help.

Try this:
You're file has to be a zip file or it will not be excepted.
Select File Library, then Upload from the menu.
Scroll down and find the blue link to https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/tsupload.php
Choose you zip file and add the full name including the .zip extension to the name field.
Scroll down a bit and fill in the various fields including a screenshot Nels can post with your upload.
If you've done this correctly there will be a 'thank you for uploading' message.
Paul :-)

Hi Folks,
Or - remove the middleman - and do it the old fashioned way via the command line:
Code:C:\Users\scott>ftp ftp.trainsim.com Connected to ftp.trainsim.com. 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ---------- 220-You are user number 2 of 100 allowed. 220-Local time is now 10:36. Server port: 21. 220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server. 220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity. 504 Unknown command User (ftp.trainsim.com:(none)): anonymous 230 Anonymous user logged in ftp> cd incoming 250 OK. Current directory is /incoming ftp> bin 200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary ftp> hash Hash mark printing On ftp: (2048 bytes/hash mark) . ftp> mput JunkTestDelete.zip mput JunkTestDelete.zip? y 200 PORT command successful 150 Connecting to port 60319 226-File successfully transferred 226 0.284 seconds (measured here), 471.87 bytes per second ftp: 134 bytes sent in 0.00Seconds 134000.00Kbytes/sec. ftp> quit 221-Goodbye. You uploaded 1 and downloaded 0 kbytes. 221 Logout. C:\Users\scott>

What file type are you trying to upload?
What error do you get?
Following the base FTP link posted on the upload page
Uploading a zip file containing a Route around 761mb compressed (1.6gb folder inside)
No errors so far, but the page doesn't load. I'll try it with firefox tonight

I clicked the incoming folder and dragged and dropped the file. It made a copy of the original folder, but I hoped it worked we shall see.

Just the commands you have to type at the prompts - first - cd to the directory on your local machine with your file to be uploaded. Make sure your upload has that FILEID file with all your pertinent information - or they won’t know how to process it.
Then - while following along with my first post.
ftp ftp.trainsim.com
anonymous
cd incoming
bin
hash
mput [your filename]
quit

Hi...
Hah - you got this...
In my first post - for testing - I placed my file to be uploaded in "C:\Users\scott" - which is the default directory for me when I launch a CMD Prompt. It keeps it as simple as possible. The commands you are typing are:
bin - puts FTP transfer in Binary Mode - which is appropriate for a ZIP file.
hash - just sends a "#" to your screen for every so many bytes transferred successfully - so you can see progress.
mput - just pushes your file to the trainsim server - it will accept wildcards for file names - keep it simple and just type the complete name out.
Regards,
Scott
