Because of the wide variety of ftp programs available, we cannot explain exactly
how to do this for the program you may have. If you have a Macintosh and
Transmit or Fetch, please scroll to that section.
The following basic steps hold true in almost any ftp program:
1. Send an email to your salesperson alerting him/her
of the job, and attach a PDF that represents the final
layout.
2. Compress the files you want to send us into one
file using Stuffit or PKZip. Be sure to include your
main layout file, any placed graphic or eps files and
all of the fonts used in the job (including all screen
and printer fonts).
3. Open your ftp access software.
4. Access our ftp site by typing in the following
information using your program's format:
Host: ftp.alphapress.org
User ID: fprotocol
Directory: leave blank
5. Use "Automatic" or "Binary" as your method of
sending the file.
6. Select the compressed file you wish to send.
7. Double click, or select the "Put" or "Upload"
option using your program's format.
That's all there is to it!
