FTP Instructions
The FTP server will be activated July 20, 2007
Note: Certain browsers on certain operating systems can not be used to upload files using the instructions below. We have tested the following browsers and have found them to work. We suggest you try your browser to determine its own functionability using these methods.
1) Internet Explorer 5.0 on Windows 98
2) Netscape Communicator on Windows 98 and Mac OS 9.X and OSX
The following browsers were not able to upload files:
1) Netscape 7.0 on Windows 98 and OS 9.X and OSX
2) Internet Explorer 5.0 used on OS 9.X, and OSX
Note: Results may vary on different combinations of operating systems and browsers.
We suggest you try uploading even if you have one of the excluded browsers and operating systems.
=================
To UPLOAD your file to the Painet FTP site using your Browser:
1) Copy and paste the following in the Location bar of your browser:
ftp://ftp.painetworks.com/incoming/
2) Drag the file you wish to upload to the Browser window. Note: If you browser window covers your whole screen, click the reduce window button in Windows, or drag the bottom right corner in Mac OS, to allow you to drag files into the window.
3) If you do not have drag-and-drop features, go to File on the Main Menu Bar and select Upload File. Then locate the file you wish to upload and click 'Open'.
4) If an upload attempt is unsuccessful, change the name of the file being uploaded and try again. Our server does not allow an overwrite to an existing file.
5) When uploading is complete, the image file will DISAPPEAR from the directory. This is normal as access to the image is denied after uploading.
If you are not allowed to Upload File using Internet Explorer, then you will need to use Netscape or download the free FTP software (see below)
