Re: Digital transfers question. On topic. Geez. Who'd have thunk it?

My, how appropriate right now (re the pathetic quality Indian work that is).

Sounds like a slick idea. I get my work via FTP. The doctors I am responsible dictate via phone and somehow the files show up in my FTP folder on completion, which means I can log in and get the work any time of day or night. How they do it, I don't know, but I like it

OK, don't have a cow, but here is a completely on-topic post. Heh.

What are you using to get digital voice files from the doctors office
to you?

Incredibly we just picked up the longtime client who dumped us a
couple years ago for the Indians. Turns out the doctor had to edit
the work himself when it was returned, which he sure never had to do
with Laurel doing his work for 12 years.

He has an Olympus handheld unit. He sticks the cable in the unit, and
it automatically launches the Olympus software which downloads to his
computer and is immediately in a folder on his computer.

What the indians did was set up an automatic transfer, it went into a
folder they had designated, when the doc logged into their site he
clicked send and the files would be sent to them from that folder.

I went over to the doctors office and interfered with that. Heh. I
had the Olympus software stick the files in a desktop folder instead.
No more indians.

What he is doing now is just dragging the dss files into a email
message and sending them to Laurel. Kind of clunky. We aren't yet
using encryption, either.

So what do you do? How do you make it easy for the doctors to send you
their files?

I want it to be automatic. We have a local web/ftp server
(Window2000).

What I am thinking about is using a program to sweep any files that
arrive in the doctors folder out, archive them locally in a backup
folder and encrypt them and FTP them to us. There is a free component
called PFTP that can do the encryption/transfer. There are programs
that can move any files that appear in a folder.

But I wanted to ask if anyone has anything better. A shake and bake
solution?
