Using Internet Explorer or supported browser:
1. In the Address box, enter:
2. As the page loads, there will be a Name/User ID and Password request:
Note: The preferred method for assigning a username and password is for the customer to provide a custom user name and password at least 30 minutes prior to needing the FTP service. This will allow the Allied Litho Prepress department to initiate and test the account. Otherwise, the username and password will be randomly selected and assigned by the Prepress department.
To create a username/password to be provided to prepress:
Both your username and password need to contain between 6-12 characters without spaces and special symbols (? " / < > * %). The password is case sensitive, so please select appropriately.
A generic ftp account has been setup using "prepress" as the User ID and password. This login method is not recommended as this is not a secure account and others will see and have access to your files.
Please contact the Prepress Department to set up a secure account.

a. Click on the "Choose File" button
b. Navigate to and select the file to send. Please "stuff"or zip the files before loading.
