PDQ Printing FTP Site

The easiest and fastest electronic method for transferring large files to PDQ Printing is our FTP Site. This is a secure and reliable method to provide large files for printing or poster and sign making.

Most web browsers have built-in FTP functionality. By simply following the directions below, most users will be able to upload files right away. For security reasons, some FTP applications may not be able to connect to our FTP site. If you are having problems with your FTP application, try using a standard web browser.

PDQ Printing FTP Procedure:

Following the link below, a new window will open.

The browser will prompt for a User Name (or Login ID) and a Password. Please be aware, both the User Name and Password are case sensitive.

Once the connection is active, simply drag the required files into the window, and the upload will begin. With large files, it may take some time to compleate the upload. Leave the window open until the upload is compleate.

FTP tips and tricks:

It is a good idea to compress your files before sending them to the FTP site. This is especially true if you are sending an application file and associated links. Font files are almost always damaged by FTP transfer. WinZip, StuffIt, and the Mac Archive utilities all work very well for file compression.

PDF files and .JPG files do not usually require compression. TIFF files will not be damaged by the transfer, but compression will dramatically decrease the file size.

For security reasons, the general FTP user account can not see any files in the site, including their own. If you need to re-upload a file, please rename it or an error will occur. Only the FTP administrator can delete files.

Please give your sales representative an e-mail or call after you have transferred files, to let us know the job is ready to proceed.
