Can anyone tell me what FTP Server is, and how I can find out what type I have.

Thanks

Having said that, if you encrypt any files BEFORE uploading to their server, you should be OK. There is a webpage where you can ask specific questions--the link is below.

Is the main reason to get a server to monitor employees on the internet? I know there are bound to be other reasons, but our boss is getting a server for our office and says that is the reason. He's a real jerk, by the way. He didn't even want any of us to have email. He really doesn't want us working in the 21st Century mode and he is a computerophobic! I'm curious as to all the advantages of a company having their own server. He tried to take the internet off my computer because "you are the only one doing transcription (PHI) on the computer" which was bull in itself, but he's afraid of "someone getting into our info" even though we have protection.

The company I work for uses an FTP server.  I am supposed to delete the files I pull after I upload them so another MT wont do them.  No matter what I try I cannot get the files to delete. When I right click on them, there is no option to delete in the drop-down.  I have also tried highlighting the file(s) and pressing delete on my computer.  Neither one of these works.  These are the 2 ways my QA said to do it, but it just wont work.  Any suggestions?

Thanks :)

Software is the computer program which interfaces between your computer and the off-site computer that "holds" the voice files and documents. The off-site is called a server and secure space is not usually free--you will have to pay some sort of usage fee for uploads/downloads, usually based on the either the space or bandwidth used.

There are other free sites like www.xdrive.com or www.box.net but they do not require the use of FTP software to upload/download. Box allows 1GB but does not appear to be secure; Xdrive allows 5GB and claims to use 128-bit encryption.

Hope you find this helpful.

I talked to someone in tech support one night and told him that the server had to be clogged or something and asked if they could reset the server or something.  I was only making 70 lph.  He said well I can turn your speed up.  I was like ?what?  He said we turn everyone's down so they dont clog up the server to keep everyone running smoothly.  I had to call every night for them to change it and I eventually just quit. 

I thought that was just wrong.  I never could get past my expected production.

Due to constant increase in traffic and server load, we are performing a major server upgrade.

We are trying our best to keep this transition smooth, but you MAY experience accessibility problems to the MTStars.com site from Oct 6th to Oct 10th, 2005.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

with the C-phone and transcribe live.  Do you know what kind of transcription platform you are typing in? 

If the system has a lot of users on, then it lags. You hit the keys but the letters don't appear right away. Try doing the backspace key with that. It does not have a word Expander and only certain ones will work with it. ShortHand does but some of the others do not.  It has archaic functions. The patient demographics are entered separately from the body of the report, so you don't get paid for those lines. It takes multiple key strokes to make font changes, etc.

But other than that, it is fine                         LOL

we installed EXText where I worked and I learned that there are a certain number of channels or ports per server, meaning on one server an allotted number of dictators and transcribers can connect to the server at one time.  The more channels in use, the harder the server works, and that will slow connection speed.

I also learned that if all channels are in use, any other would be users trying to connect are sort of placed in a holding pattern waiting for an open channel and that can cause hiccups in the server as well, i.e. disconnections, lock ups.

We were told by the IT department that although we may have 20+ channels available for use, we shouldn't schedule 20 MTs to be on at the same time just because we can.  We have to consider the dictators who need access, etc. 

So basically your employer may have too many trying to connect at the same time and the server just can't handle it.  You might ask the other MTs if they are experiencing similar difficulties and if they are, then its a better bet that it is a serve problem.

IF YOU HAVE UE TAXES TAKEN OUT OF YOUR PAY BY YOUR STATE, YOU'RE COVERED if you meet all of their other requirements.

Look on your pay stubs or W2 for the last 6 months (although not that sure about SE status).  Look at the part of ductions that your STATE takes out - it may not specifically mention deductions for UE, but if your state deducts state disability taxes, you're certain to be covered for UE as well. (For some reason, my own  check only showed NY State disability insurance taken out, so I had to verify with my payroll dept. that I was actually covered for UE).
