| If you do not want to send your files and
art as an attachment to an e-mail, you can also use FTP to transfer (or upload) your files
to our Web servers. Netscape's Navigator/Composer, for example, lets you access our FTP
servers in the same way you access our Web (HTTP) servers.
After you have accessed
our FTP server, you can upload your files to our site with either one of these two
methods:
- After you have accessed our FTP server, you can upload files
to our site by dragging and dropping them from the Windows File Manager, Explorer
or the Navigator browser window. This process is easier if all your Web page files are
located in one directory on your local disk.
- Alternatively, and the method we prefer, after you've
accessed our FTP site, choose in the Navigator's File menu the Upload
File item. In the resulting dialog box, select the file on your hard disk that you
wish to upload.
To FTP us your files, use this FTP address:
ftp://ftp.bitmark.com/pub/incoming
After you have uploaded your files you have to send us an e-mail informing us of this
transfer as otherwise we'll not know about it since we only check this incoming directory
once a week and hence cannot take action until then.
More details and notes:
PLEASE - DO NO SEND LOW RESOLUTION FILES
We cannot print decent images on mugs using
files with only a resolution of 72 dpi's, such as for example, .gif
files. For more on this please consult here.
Thank you for your consideration.
Information to include with your file:
Please prepare a text file that includes
your name, phone, address, and e-mail address. Then compress all together either
with WinZip (for PC's) or Stuff-it (for Mac's) with your file to be
up-loaded. Also, please e-mail us the name of the file(s) you have
FTP'd and
include your name, phone, e-mail address, etc.
You can use Netscape Navigator to upload or download files to us. For the URL address enter:
ftp.bitmark.com/pub/incoming.
Follow the on-screen instructions,
then go under the "File" menu to "Upload File" and you're off and running.
With regular FTP Software use as:
FTP address: ftp.bitmark.com/pub/incoming
name: anonymous
password: your e-mail address.
Make sure you up-load your files to
our bitmark.com directory: pub/incoming/
once you reach our server.
For Mac users we recommend using "Fetch" for doing your
FTP transfers. You can download Fetch 3.0 at Shareware.com
or similar download sites.
For PC users we recommend one of the Winsock products like those
offered at the TUCOWS web site.
You can also use any other PC or Mac software that supports the FTP protocol.
Please compress all uploads:
Making sure that your file(s) are compressed and combined into ONE archive
as this makes it very easy to send, receive and process digital
files.
We currently support the following types of file compression software: WinZip, PK Zip
or
Stuff-It.
Note: Most FTP client software lets you choose either ASCII
text or binary transfer mode. Although HTML files themselves can be transferred as text
files, other files, such as .JPEG and .GIF files, cannot be correctly transferred that way.
In the Navigator/Composer, files are uploaded to FTP sites in binary mode by default.
You might find the FTP directory and content pages have minimal formatting. When possible,
the browser window shows the type, size, date, and a short description of each file in a
directory. A directory is presented as a list of links; each link is often preceded by a
small icon indicating another directory or a file. Clicking on a directory link displays a
subdirectory. Typically, at the top of a subdirectory is a link that displays the parent
directory.
