2.3 Error Messages
2.3.1 Invalid File Type
The error "Invalid file type" will appear if one or both of the files uploaded are incorrect. The most common reason for this is inserting the Microsoft Excel file (*.xls) in the ASCII Text file (*.txt) upload field and vice versa. Simply click the Back button and insert the correct file into each field.
If you are certain that the correct file is in each upload field, a more serious issue may be the cause for this error. One of your files may be corrupt or can otherwise not be read correctly by the Contribution Wizard. In this case, it is suggested that you contact the webmaster for assistance.
2.3.2 Unable to Move File to Directory
The error "Unable to move [file] to [directory]" is a serious but uncommon error that may occur during contribution upload. It is a problem on the server side, and is not a consequence of a user action or corrupt file. When this error occurs, the webmaster is immediately notified, and the problem will be resolved. It is suggested that you contact the webmaster and you will be notified when the problem has been corrected.
