Receiving a file from someone

How this all works...
The directions below will show you how to use an FTP program to get your files (download files) from a temporary place on our FTP server.  Once the files have been successfully sent to the FTP server, you can have someone else get the files (download files) from the FTP server and store them on their computer.

Remember, the FTP server only holds your files temporarily.  All files sent to the server are deleted after about 24 hours.

PART ONE - Install WS_FTP (the FTP program)
You will need an FTP program.  If you already have an FTP program you can skip to Part Two, otherwise, follow the instructions below to download WS_FTP.

1.  Click here to download a copy of WS_FTP.  Save the file to your hard drive (save to disk).  Please remember the name of the directory or folder that you save the file to (so you can find the file in the next step).

2.  After the file has completed downloading,  locate the file on your computer and double-click on the file.  When prompted, extract the file to c:\cwoftp and proceed to Part Two.

PART TWO - Get Your Files (download files)

1.  Open WS_FTP by clicking on [Start] and then [Run] and type c:\cwoftp\ws_ftp32.exe (click for picture).

2.  With WS_FTP open you will see a Session Profile menu with CWO already selected.  Click OK to connect to our FTP Server (click for picture)
Note: If CWO is not available type in the information in this picture and click OK.

3.  Once connected to our server you will see two columns on your screen.  The column on the left is your hard drive (your c: drive).  The column on the right is the FTP server.  To get a file from the FTP server, you must change to the incoming directory.  You may browse through the folders on your hard drive (in the left column) by clicking on them.  Double-click on the incoming folder and then click on the <- button.  Enter the name of the file you want to download and select OK.

Note: Please be patient, larger files will take longer to download.
