Why would I use FTP upload?
Emailing is currently the most common way of transferring files from one user to the next. The problem with e-mail is that you have a small limit on the file size that you want to send. The reason why our FTP upload is so great is that there isn't a limit to the file size you want to send. One thing to be aware of is NOT to send a file over 100 MB's unless you have the bandwidth to do it. Uploading large files will slow your internet down dramatically. If you do have a file size that is larger than 100 MB's please give us a call at 914-738-6066, and we will guide you to a better solution.
How many files can I upload?
You may upload as many files as you please. Just be aware not to upload files with the same name or the file will instantly be overwritten.
