Using MileSplit Live with Easy Meet Manager (EMM) requires three parts:

1. Set up the Windows FTP Server and create a local folder for live-results files.
2. Configure Easy Meet Manager to send results files to that FTP folder.
3. Configure MileSplit Live to read the results files from the same folder.

The Windows FTP Server setup only needs to be completed once on the computer. The Easy Meet Manager and MileSplit Live setup must be completed for each meet.

Part 1: Set up the Windows FTP Server

Complete these steps the first time you configure the computer for Easy Meet Manager live results.

Create a live-results folder

1. Open the C:\ drive.
2. Create a new folder for your live-results files, such as:
   C:\LiveResults
3. For each meet, you will create a separate folder inside this main folder.

Enable Internet Information Services and FTP Server

1. Search Windows for Windows Features.
   
   You can also open Turn Windows Features On or Off from the Control Panel.
2. Find Internet Information Services (IIS).
3. Select the checkbox next to Internet Information Services.
4. Expand Internet Information Services.
5. Find and expand FTP Server.
6. Select the checkbox for FTP Server.
7. Apply the changes.

Create the FTP site

1. Open IIS Manager.
2. Right-click your computer name.
3. Select Add FTP Site.
4. Enter an FTP site name, such as MSLiveResults.
5. Browse to the live-results directory you created earlier.
6. Select Next.

Configure the FTP connection

1. Set the IP address to:
   
   127.0.0.1
2. Select No SSL.
3. Select Next.
4. Set Authentication to Basic.
5. Under authorization, select Specified Users.
6. Enter your Windows computer username.
7. Under Permissions, select:
   • Read
   • Write
8. Select Finish.

Your local FTP Server is now configured for Easy Meet Manager.

Part 2: Configure Easy Meet Manager for live results

Complete these steps for each meet you want to publish through MileSplit Live.

Create a meet folder

1. Open the FTP directory you created during the initial setup.
2. Create a new folder for the meet.

Do not use spaces in the folder name.

For example:

C:\LiveResults\StateChampionship

Enter your FTP settings in Easy Meet Manager

1. Open Easy Meet Manager.
2. Open the settings used to configure the live-results FTP connection.
3. Enter the information that matches your Windows FTP Server setup.

Use:

• Your configured FTP information
• Your Windows computer username
• Your Windows login password
• The meet folder name you created in the FTP directory

The directory should be the name of the meet-specific folder, not the entire Windows folder path.

Test the connection

Select Upload Meet Data to Web Site.

Confirm that Easy Meet Manager creates files in the meet folder.

If the files do not upload, review your FTP Server settings and Easy Meet Manager connection information, then try again.

Enable automatic live-result uploads

When you begin entering official results, select Auto Upload Live Result in Easy Meet Manager.

This allows Easy Meet Manager to continue updating the live-results files during the meet.

Part 3: Configure MileSplit Live

Complete this setup for each meet.

1. Open MileSplit Live.
2. Select the meet you want to publish.
3. Change the data source to Easy Meet Manager.
4. Browse to the meet-specific folder you created in the FTP directory.
5. Select that folder as the Easy Meet Manager results location.
6. Confirm that MileSplit Live can read the files.
7. Start publishing when you are ready for live results.
