If you know where the file is then all you need to do is upload it to Killahead's FTP server. To do that you need an FTP client. There are many good FTP clients that you can download that are pretty easy to set up. There is even one included in Windows that you can use. Follow these steps if you want to use the built-in FTP client:

1. Locate your telemetry file and rename it to Steve.spt (or Steve.spx if you started the game through the data-logger). Copy this file to "C:\" or some other place where you can easily find it.

2. Start a command prompt (some also call this a "DOS box").

3. Make sure you are standing in the same directory as your telemetry file.

4. Type "ftp nar.myftp.org"

5. Login with username "nar" and password "nar".

6. Type "bin". This puts the connection in binary mode.

7. Type "hash". This makes the client write a hash-mark ("#") for every unit of data uploaded. Typically one mark for every 4kB or so. This is not necessary, but it allows you to see the progress of your upload.

8. Type "put Steve.spt" (or "put Steve.spx"). This will upload the file.

9. Once the upload is finished you disconnect and exit by typing "bye".
