| Following reports of problems with uploaded documents and images on Sites4Doctors sites, we ask you to note the following limitations on filenames. Sites4Doctors sites are hosted on a Linux server, which is far more stable and reliable than the Microsoft Windows servers used by many NHS organisations. However, it is also much more demanding about file names than Windows systems. So document and image files with spaces and some other special characters in their names may not upload or display correctly. If a filename contains any such characters, you therefore need to rename the file before you upload it. To do this, point to the filename in your local folder, right-click it, select ’Rename’ and edit the name. If this is a problem, copy the file into another folder; then rename and upload the copy. The new name should contain only capital and lower-case letters, numbers and the underscore ( _ ) and hyphen ( - ) characters. The dot (.) should only be used to separate the file extension - .doc, .pdf, .gif, .jpg, .png etc. The image and document upload forms on the Site Management System contain reminders about this. |
