Central Coast Printing is pleased to offer customers the benefit of uploading their files to our secure FTP server. This method of file transfer is more dependable than emailing. Many email servers will reject large files.

When you log into our secure FTP server you have access to your own private directory. You don't have access to other client's files and they don't have access to yours.

We request that your files (including all links and fonts) be compressed into one directory and either "stuffed" using StuffIt* (Macintosh) or "zipped" using WinZip (Windows) prior to uploading.

Please use an FTP client to upload your compressed file. Do not use a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape. The following clients offer free trial periods and are easy to use: Fetch (Macintosh) or BulletProof FTP (Windows). Additionally, Filezilla is a free FTP client available for all computer platforms. Each program comes with instructions on its use.

Contact your account manager to have an FTP account created for you. An email will be sent to you with your login information.

*Zip files made by the "archive" feature of Macintosh OSX is NOT a suitable way to compress your files for FTP transfer.
