After years of experimenting and pulling our hair out, we finally have FTP service!
Just email us at ftp@fototechnika.com and we will set up the necessary links and passwords so you can send us your digital files for printing.
What is FTP?
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, and is a process by which files are uploaded to a remote host (server) for use elsewhere. Similar to the Online Printing option, FTP allows you to transfer files (upload or download) from computer to computer, and is especially helpful if you want to send very large files or very large numbers of large files. And whereas the Online Printing option requires that you send files in a jpeg format, FTP allows you to send tifs, psds and pdfs for additional PhotoShop work and/or printing.
How does that help you?
It will enable you to send your image files to a secure storage place where we can retrieve them and produce your projects without you having to bring or deliver a CD or other storage device to the lab; instead you can send them directly from your computer to our FTP account.
In the past, the FTP process could be very technical and laborious, but today there are many services providing user-friendly interfaces and "client accounts" to keep your files from mingling with other clients' files. To start the process, just email us at ftp@fototechnika.com if you would like to upload files to the ftp site. We’ll set up a file specifically for your job, and send a reply email with your user name and password. You will need to have ftp client software to access the site, but if you don’t already have "client software" for FTP, we recommend that you download FileZilla client software at http://filezilla-project.org. We'll be glad to walk you through the process.
