Uploading art files via FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

If you have numerous or large files to submit with your order, our FTP upload process is the easiest method. Follow our simple steps as outlined below:

A. If you DO NOT have an FTP program on your computer:

  • 2. Once there, click on the 'Download Now Sourceforge' button.
  • 3. Another window will appear asking you to save the executable file. Save the file; it will then download program to your hard drive.
  • 4. Find the file and double click on it. Give permission to run this safe executable file.
  • 5. Click 'Run'.
  • 6. Click 'Agree' to License Agreement.
  • 7. Select either 'Anyone who uses this computer' or 'Only for me' to determine who can use the program.
  • 8. Select components to install (uncheck all will be fine; choose 'Desktop Icon' if so desired for quick access.)
  • 9. Then click 'Next' - 'Next' - 'Install'
  • 10. Click 'Finish'.

  • 12. In the 'Host' field, type ftp.americancalendar.com
