There are so many ways to send files over the Internet, it's difficult to know which methods work well, and which methods you should stay away from. Evergreen Printing & Graphics offers several different methods of on-line file transfer. These methods include FTP and E-mail Attachment. Both methods are described below:
FTP Instructions
FTP is the easiest and most reliable method for customers to transfer files
to Evergreen Printing. Simply use an FTP client like Fetch on
a MAC or FTP Voyager on
a PC. FTP log-in requires a Username and Password*.
We strongly recommend using a compression utility like Stuffit(MAC)
or WinZip(PC)
before sending your files. Compressing accomplishes two things: First,
the file size is greatly reduced, making the transfer much faster. Second,
the internet has a tendency to corrupt files in transit, and using a compression
utility puts a shell around the file, protecting it from corruption. The
only catch with using FTP is that if you are using a MACINTOSH, you must BinHex the Stuffit file
before sending it.
FTP Instructions:
Uploading files via FTP client software:

E-Mail Instructions
Attaching a file to E-mail is the most common method of transferring files, because almost everyone has access to e-mail. Although it's the easiest method it's also the least recommended because of its unreliability and detrimental effect on e-mail servers, which are by no means meant for this type of application. With that in mind we have set a maximum file size of 2 Megabytes to be received by our E-mail server.
Requirements: Any E-mail program that allows file attachments and an internet connection. Note: if you use AOL there is a good chance files over 1 megabyte will not work.
Email Instructions
1. Simply compress your files
(use Stuffit on
a MAC or WinZip on
a PC).
2. Then use your email program to attach the files to a message and send
it to
