FTP Upload Service
Why use FTP?
FTP is a manual service as it requires you to drag and drop the files into a directory on our
server and create an order form in word/wordpad/notepad and email us the order form.
We have three other services available:
- Upload from this site - Print using images from your collections.
- CrystalPix Pro - Software to automatically upload and place orders for prints from digital files.
- ROES Pro - Our ever popular free templating, layout and ordering tool.
These services automate the procedure,
have secure online payments (CrystalPixPro and this website) and have many other advantages. See Digital Printing
Guide for more information on printing options etc..)
What is FTP?
FTP (file transfer protocol) is a standardised system for transferring files from one computer
to another over the internet. FTP existed long before the web.
FTP is best suited to customers who tend to...
- Use Apple Mac's.
- Require bespoke print sizes.
- Do not want to use our automated software.
- Just prefer to use FTP.
- Are a Schools customer who have very specific requirements.
