How to upload your files

Use the Browse buttons below to browse for each file you would like to send. The files you're sending must be located on your computer, or on a network your computer is attached to. Once you've selected each of the files you want to send, click the Send button, then wait for the file upload confirmation before closing your browser window (this may take several minutes, or longer; depending on the size of your files and the speed of your Internet connection).

You can transfer up to six files at a time, as long as no single file is larger than 10 megabytes in size. If you have single files which are larger than 10 megabytes, please ship your files on disk instead.

For faster transfers, or if you have more than six files to send, compress the files into a single "zip" file using WinZip, or a Microsoft Windows compressed folder.

Which files should I send?

Send only the files that contain your volunteer information. You do not need to send the entire program from which you are converting. If you're not sure which files contain your information, you can send all of the files from your current database and we will attempt to determine which contain your information.

Files that contain volunteer data typically end with file name extensions DAT, DBF, XLS, MDB, TXT, or CSV, although yours may have an extension other than any of these. We typically do not require files that end with file name extensions EXE or DLL.

How else can I send my files?

The fastest way to send your files is through this Jump-Start Upload Page. If you have a large number of files to transfer, a low band-width connection, or you simply do not want to transfer your files on-line, you can send them on a CD or DVD.

When sending data on CD or DVD, please:

Copy the files to CD or DVD in an uncompressed form. This helps insure that we can access them without any problem.
If you encode the data such that they require a password for access, be sure you let us know what the password is (don’t include the password in the same package as the disk!).
Package disk(s) so they won’t be damaged in shipping.
Write your Volgistics account number on each disk.
Note that, for security purposes, we destroy the CD or DVD you use to send your data once your Jump-Start is complete. If you would like to retain an additional copy of your original files for your own use you should make an additional copy for yourself.

Is this secure?

The Jump-Start Upload page uses 128-bit secured-socket layer (SSL) data encryption—the same level of encryption used in online banking. With SSL, your data files are encrypted – or scrambled – as they travel from your computer to the Volgistics data center.

Once we receive your data files we safeguard them with the same physical and network security, and privacy policy used to keep your Volgistics database safe. We destroy the data files you send for conversion once your Jump-Start is complete.
