Controlling the file types that can be uploaded
You can control which file types can be uploaded to the server.
1 On the desktop Interviewer computer, edit this file:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\DataCollection\7\Interviewer\IPlayerSyncMgr.exe.config
2 Add the SyncFilesToBeCopied key to the appSettings section:
<add key="SyncFilesToBeCopied" value= ="filetype[;filetype]..." />
Replace filetype with a list of filename extensions, separated by semicolons. You must include:
file types used for the upload data (.chj)
file types used for sample or quota data (that is, ddf and the .mdd file which is used to interpret the data)
file types used for respondent files (that is images and recordings).
If the appSettings section does not exist, add it in the <configuration> section.
Default value
If the setting is not included, the default list is used:
<add key="SyncFilesToBeCopied" value= ="*.chj;*.ddf;*.mdd;*.htm;*.html;*.xml;*.gif;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;*.mov;*.bmp;*.avi;*.xls;*.xlsx;*.xlsm;*.xlsb;*.mdb;*.accdb;*.dbf;*.ndx;*.mdx;*.swf;*.wma;*.wav;*.mp3;*.flv;*.mpg;*.ogg;*.mp4;*.wmv;*.3gp;*.RM3;*.mkv;*.webm;*.3g2;" />
This default list includes the files generally needed for upload and the files generally required for download.
