How do I use FTP?

---

 

Step One

Open your FTP program.

Step Two

Enter ftp.vistaphotolab.com for the host address in the space provided.

Step Three

Enter your login ID and your password. If you do not have a ftp account, call for a user name and password. To send up an order in the mean time, you may use "vistatest" for user name and "test" for the password, but please make sure you email sales@vistaphotolab.com to let us know you put an order under this account and what files were placed there.

Step Four

Click Connect.

Step Five

You will see two windows containing a list of folders and files when the connection is established. The window on the right represents the folders on the remote computer. The window on the left represents the folders on your hard disk.

Step Six

Move around in the right-hand window until you have located and opened the folder in which your uploaded file is to be stored.

Step Seven

Move around in the window in the left-hand side until you have found and selected the file that is to be uploaded.

Step Eight

Drag the selected file over to the window on the right. Most FTP programs will allow you to upload this way. If your FTP software doesn't allow this, consult the help file for uploading instructions.

Step Nine

Check that the file is listed with the other files on the right-hand side when the file is uploaded.
