# Providing debugging information
## Sharing sample files, projects, and “scenarios”
-In some cases we might ask you to share **sample media files** with us
-to debug a particular issue. If you don't have your own hosting space,
-we have a FTP account with unlimited space available for this purpose,
-provided by [idmark.ca](http://idmark.ca).

- distributions), connect to “idmark.ca” using the username
- “pitivisamples idmark ca” (@idmark.ca is part of the username). Ask
- [us](The_people.md) for the password on IRC.
-2. Please follow our simple naming convention and put your files in a
- folder called with the ID of the bug report (eg. T3553) so we can

-3. Your uploaded files will be in a private staging folder (only
- visible through FTP); once reviewed, we may move your uploaded files
- to <http://pitivi.ecchi.ca/user-contributed-samples/> for ease of
- access.

+media files** with us. If the file is too large to attach to the GitLab

+other service to share such media.
