File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

FTP is an efficient means of transferring data over the internet. You'll need an FTP client software program like Transmit or RBrowser for Macintosh; or CuteFTP or WS_FTP for Windows. A few simple settings are all you need to send files directly to our server.

(If you are having trouble setting up FTP, or obtaining a client program, you may want to try our Web Upload Service.)

Settings

You may set up your FTP client to access Watkins Printing FTP using the following settings:

Host Name / Address:	`ftp.printwatkins.com`
Host Type:	`Auto Detect`
User ID:	`customer`
Password:	`< please call your sales representative >`
Passive Mode:	`On (Especially if you are behind a firewall.)`

Enabling passive mode in Fetch.
Enabling passive mode in WS_FTP.

Please note: For security reasons, our server does not accept anonymous connections for receiving files. You must contact us if you wish to send files via FTP.

Guidelines

Please notify your salesperson when you have sent a file.
Upload only compressed files rather than folders. Compress multiple files into an archive using StuffIt® on the Macintosh or PKZip for Windows®.
Place files in the "upload" folder.
