Howto:FTP upload (obsolete)

Applies To

This information applies to anyone, who needs to transfer files that are too large to send by email practically.

More Information

There is an innovaphone ftp-server named ftp.innovaphone.com which can be used to upload or download files too large for emailing.

For logging on this server use the login "ice" with the [well known ice password] or "beta" with the [well known beta password].

Sending files to innovaphone (Upload)

1. Use only the directory "incoming" to upload, because there is no reading access for any user outside of innovaphone

2. Contact the email recipient

Warning: only incoming directory is writable for ice user. But it is not readable for the ice user. So you can upload data but no-one (except us :-) can read it.

Getting files from innaovaphone (Download)

1. Contact the Sender to know where you can find the expected file(s)

2. Change to the appointed directory in dfs\FTP\ to download the allocated data
