This isn't my Christmas list. It's a shout-out to anyone who can possibly to give us access to the FTP server controlling the DSGi websites.

I'm not sure if it's known, but we have to send every image and stylesheet to Paris via email. Once received, these files can take up to 24 hours to be added and while I wait for this 2 minute task to be done, I can either wait or start another scheduled job. To be honest it would be quicker for me to travel to Paris and add the files myself. The caching issue is a problem too. Even when files are created and uploaded, if they are amended CSS files or updated images the cache must be flushed at the server end. This involves more requests to Paris. Frustrating.

So I regularly have several jobs currently running at any one time. And, having to return to a job a day later to see if even loaded correctly is not only confusing but very disruptive.

If we could only gain access permissions to the FTP server, create folders and manage the uploading of files ourselves we would definitely increase productivity. No more confusion and time wasted familiarising ourselves with previously written code. No waiting endlessly for CSS files to be updated and then be flushed. Working practises could be speeded up and turn-around time would be shorter.

END.

I have noticed that individually we log into SCUD in different ways.
