I can make updates, but nothing is actually propagating to the Handbook, so nobody will see them.
I'd love to help simplify the how-to guide as the current one (https://handbook.arctosdb.org/how_to/How-to-Upload-Media-to-TACC.html) still includes the small batch uploader which appears to be removed. I also really could not figure out that conversion of the URL from data.tacc.utexas.edu to web.corral.utexas.edu was required for the images to cooperate- that would be a nice little piece to put in plain terms somewhere.

you need eg https://web.corral.tacc.utexas.edu/arctos/ALMNH/Entomology/ALMNH102599V.JPG
Is that really still not in the documentation?! @Jegelewicz can you fix that or do I need to?
That is exactly what the documentation says
@babogan how could we have made that more clear?
folders (https://web.corral.tacc.utexas.edu/arctos/ALMNH/Entomology/Batch%20upload%201/) don't follow naming conventions, which also seems to be missing from the documentation. (https://handbook.arctosdb.org/best_practices/TACC_allocation.html hints at it, sorta.)
Added
@dustymc @babogan it would help me if you would read the new documents and let me know if anything else needs to be added or changed. Because these updates are not showing up in the actual handbook, please review them in Github.

Thanks!
Ah it's in the metadata bulkload guide. Seems fine where it is. I was fighitng against the cyberduck guide on TACC itself and this one: https://handbook.arctosdb.org/how_to/How-to-Upload-Media-to-TACC.html I knew the metadata had to be linked separately via bulkload and was going by this page: https://arctos.database.museum/tools/BulkloadMedia.cfm (which links to this one: https://arctos.database.museum/tools/BulkloadMedia.cfm?action=ld) So I hadn't actually navigated to the more useful and nicer guide. All good 👍
@babogan FWIW, the bulkload media metadata How To is linked at the bottom of the Upload to TACC document.
It did just teach me that URI refers to the images as opposed to URL- so that's good to know for the future :) Maybe in the tips section something about the folder names/file names (I assume) not being able to handle spaces. This is intuitive but most people's folder organization likely will be using spaces so it could cause trouble

Aha I found it after this had been opened. Just missed it when I was there. Don't worry- that's my bad. Sorry for the trouble
That's not a real URL, you need eg https://web.corral.tacc.utexas.edu/arctos/ALMNH/Entomology/ALMNH102599V.JPG

Also your folders (https://web.corral.tacc.utexas.edu/arctos/ALMNH/Entomology/Batch%20upload%201/) don't follow naming conventions, which also seems to be missing from the documentation. (https://handbook.arctosdb.org/best_practices/TACC_allocation.html hints at it, sorta.) Neither TACC not I will script anything that contains spaces; if that might ever matter, those should be fixed.
