File Transfer Protocol

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

Speciality ECF Features

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows the Trustee/Attorney to Download ECF case files and PDF's for easy viewing without accessing the CM/ECF system. This is done by downloading from the Bankruptcy Court zip files which are setup from the previous days entries.

Initial Installation and Setup

Note: After running the initial installation you will be running version 1.0. Before using GetPDF or MovePDF you will need to update them to the most recent version. In the common folder on the FTP site there is a GetPDF.exe and MovePDF.exe; copy both of these into your GetPDF folder, overwriting the original files.

Downloading Files from the Court
- Errors
  
  The import process should run with no errors. If the message in the status box indicates there were errors, click on the Error Log button to see which images were not loaded. The most common cause of errors is that you are not using the most current Data.Zip file.
- Daily Process
  1. Download the Data.Zip and your latest PDF zip file.
  2. Save them into a temporary folder.
  3. Unzip Data.Zip into the C:\GetPDF. Unzip the PDFs into C:\Temp (or whatever you designated as your Import Folder in MovePDF).
  4. Run the MovePDF and click the Import button.
