Instructions for setting up SFTP

If you use more than one computer, then follow these steps on your main computer, and see the note in Step 10.

1. Scoring Options

In Scorer, click on “Administration” and then “Scoring Options”:

2. FTP Options

Select the “FTP Options” tab:

3. Enter new details

In the top section enter these details in the four boxes as shown:

bridgeresults.nz -s    (note the space between “bridgeresults.nz” and “-s”)
bridgere
AKQJT9876    (note that the letters are in upper case)
results

Do not change anything in the bottom section.

4. Go to the Scoring page

Select the “Scoring and Calendar” tab and then “Score/Ladder”. Now find a recent (finished) session and double click on it to open the usual results page in Step 5.

5. Click on “XML”

Click on the “XML” button (with “Upload XML file to FTP Site” checked). This action will not actually upload anything yet but it does set up the next step.

6. Find the NZB Scorer folder in Windows

This will most likely be the “S:” disk, or “C:\NZB Scorer”. Inside that folder, find the file “FTPStart.bat” and double-click it. (Or just “FTPStart” if extensions are not showing.)
(If you use a search to find this file, be careful — there may be several and you need the one in the NZB Scorer folder.)

7. A black window

Wait until the window shown below opens and asks “Store key in cache?”. Type y and then press Enter.

8. Wait for response

After up to a minute you should see the message “Using username 'bridgere'”. If the window doesn't close by itself you can close it.

9. All done!

Now you can go back into Scorer and start uploading the XML results for all your results or hand-records that are missing on the website.

10. More than one computer?

You will need to do this on all the computers you use for scoring. However if your computers share the Scoring programme (usually by using an “S” disk) then you don’t need to do steps 1 to 3.
