There are a few options for submitting content to air on Denver Open Media without using our facility to ingest the content.

Download STUFFIT

If you don't already have StuffIt or another file compression program on your computer you can download a free trial for Macintosh or Windows here.

Free Stuff-it download

You will need StuffIt or another unzipping program to unzip the file packages in the next steps.

FTP Drag and Drop Icons

FTP Drag and Drop Icons are available for both Macintosh and Windows users. FTP is the preferred method for uploading files as it does not put additional load on the Denver Open Media web server. The FTP Drag and Drop Icons are very easy to use. Simply download the appropriate Drag and Drop icon;

1. Click on the link below for your Macintosh or Windows computer to download the DOM Uploader.

Macintosh - 1.8MB

Windows - 800K

2. Choose "Save to Disk" for Mackintosh, or save your file to the desktop for Windows.

3. Next double click the DOMUploader.sit.hqx icon on your desktop to open and install the contents of that package to your computer.

4. A new icon will appear on your desktop.

You can either drag and drop the file you'd like to upload onto the Drag and Drop icon or click the icon and select the file. You will see a message that this is a trial. Accept that and the upload should begin. FTP is the only option for files larger than 100MB. FTP uploads show the progress of large uploads and will resume where the upload left off if a connection problem interrupts the upload. In most environments, FTP will be much faster than browser based uploads as well.

Browser Based Upload

Browser based uploads should ONLY be used for files smaller than 100MB. Browser based uploads can take as long as 2 hours for a 100MB file using a DSL or cable modem. Unlike FTP uploads which resume if there is a problem with the connection, browser based uploads will not resume the upload when the problem is resolved. Instead, the browser will appear to be trying to upload the file until you close the page or you browser. Because the upload never completes, nothing is actually uploaded. Even if 99% of the file was uploaded before the problem, the missing 1% will cause the server to delete the 99%. Only use browser based uploads when there is no other option.
