Here is an exciting new way to make the transfer of large files to and from R.Beck Associates faster and easier! Recently I’ve set up an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Site. Sometimes referred to as an “extranet”- this secure web-based site will allow for the transfer of files that up until now- would have been too large to e-mail and thus require them to be saved to a CD or zip disk. The file sizes that can be transmitted are basically unlimited (it will hold up to 5 Gigabytes of files in all!). Of course- the larger the file the longer it will take to upload or download- but in situations where “time is of the essence” this new tool could prove to be a real life saver, I’m sure!
In order to use the site-
PC users will need to have Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher installed on their computer (should be on computers that have Windows XP installed)
Mac Users will need to use software called Fetch which can be downloaded at http://fetchsoftworks.com/mdownload.php?filename=Fetch_5.1.dmg (15 day free trial)
I’ll be happy to walk customers and vendors through the steps involved to utilize this site as certain projects may require.
