Uploading Files Via FTP Client Software

FTP (file transfer protocol) is a way to get access to files that anyone can download from a server on the internet. When our clients need information fast, we recommend using our FTP server to transfer files from the client to us, or vice versa.

Download Fetch
FTP client for the Macintosh

Download WS_FTP LE
FTP client for Windows

Download Netscape
FTP in your browser

For more information about using our FTP services, read our FTP Instructions.

FTP Instructions

Open your internet connection and launch your FTP client software.
Use the following settings for your FTP client software:

Host: ftp.westlandprinters.com
User ID: westland
Password: printing
Directory: LEAVE BLANK

Use the “PUT FILE” selection to find items on your hard drive to upload to the FTP site. OR
Use the “GET FILES” selection to download files to your hard drive.

Please use Binhex format to send uncompressed files, and use the Raw Data format to send compressed files.

Using an FTP software such as Fetch 3.0.3 is the best way to upload to an FTP site.

Using Netscape Navigator is okay, but you may run into problems keeping the port connection open, which will result in corrupt or incomplete file transfer.

E-mailing files is not a reliable method of transferring files as they may become corrupt and often never reach their destination due to file size limits set by servers.

DO NOT EMAIL ANY FILES OVER 2MB

Any problems or questions can be directed to Tom Snyder
