If you merely want to occasionally send us a file
that is too large for an email attachment (up to 1 gigabyte!), use this
handy YouSendIt first.
(Dropload
is an alternate service with a100 megabyte limit). With either service you'll upload the file to a
server which emails us with a download link that lasts a few days. All
file transfers are secure. For multiple files, compress them into a
single archive file.
IZarc is a free utility
for compressing and uncompressing files in many archive formats. IZarc
is much more versatile than WinZip.

Although savvy browser users can upload file(s)
directly to baldock.ca with a browser
using certain settings, it
is really more productive to use an FTP client instead. FTP clients also
handle folders and multiple files with ease. See the following section for further
guidance.
Using an FTP client application
A highly
recommended FTP application is
SmartFTP. It
is both powerful and intuitive to easily exchange folders
and files. It is free for personal use. Other common free FTP clients are:
FTP Explorer and
WS_FTP LE. Macintosh users should use
Fetch which automatically encodes files
as it uploads.
-
Do us to verify that anonymous uploading of files is enabled, and to
inform us of forthcoming uploads.
-
To connect anonymously to baldock.ca, enter the following
parameters:
-
For anonymous connections, the upload directory is:
incoming.
You won't see the contents of the incoming directory, even after you have
uploaded folders/files.
-
Do us to inform us that you have completed file uploads or to have
the uploaded files moved up into the public ftp directory.
