Instructions for FTP newbies:
1. Get yourself an FTP program. My favorite is the free FireFTP plugin for Firefox (donations accepted). Others for mac users I recommend Fetch and Transmit. For PC users I recommend WS_FTP and BulletProof.
2. Learn how to use the darn thing! It should only take about 2-5 minutes of your time reading the users guide or asking a friend to walk you through the steps to connect to a FTP server.
3. Using your preferred FTP program, log into ftp.johnckmedia.com with the username and password we provided to you.
4. Navigate to the folder with your company name and your file(s) will be there.
5. Please let us know when you’ve successfully download the files.
FTP and Browsers (Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera)
Give it a shot! Most browsers usually have some type of FTP support built in, HOWEVER, sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. We can’t keep track of how FTP’ing works in all the different versions of browsers our there. For the smoothest, fastest, and error free transfers we highly recommend using an FTP program or Client as they are called.
1. Type ftp.johnckmedia.com into the url address window. Do not type www or http://
2. Hit return and wait for the server to respond with a pop-up window asking for a username and password.
3. Enter the username and password we provided to you.
4. The browser window will display a list of folders. Navigate to the folder with your company name to access the files.
Windows Explorer FTP Option
1. Open a Windows Explorer window (not Internet Explorer)…. open something like My Documents, My Computer, My Music, etc..
2. In the address bar at the top enter: ftp.johnckmedia.com
3. A pop-up window will prompt you for a username and password.
4. Wait a few secs while you connect to the FTP server (in WinXP the little flashlight will be waving around).
5. All of a sudden, viola, the contents of the FTP server will load will load. You can navigate around, drag/drop, etc..
What is FTP?
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and it’s a great way to share files. The reason we use it here is because it allows us to easily and quickly electronically transfer image or video files that are too big for email. Another product we use quite often is You Send It. It’s not as fast a FTP, but it is secure and simple to use and they have a free account too!
