Using Existing Programs in your OS
Using Web Browsers

All Cooperative Print Solutions Customers have the ability to send and receive files via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) at no charge. To take advantage of this service, customers can simply use our Internet based service or your own FTP client software.
Large File Transfers (10mb or greater)
When transfering large files, we highly recommend the use of a FTP client software program or our Web Site, vs email. Filezilla is a good example. Some other choices are listed below.
Using FTP Client Software
Due to the multitude of FTP software clients available, Cooperative Print Solutions cannot provide direct support for the use of any specific FTP software. To help you with the process of transfering files we have some recommendations and links to several tutorials listed below.

Connecting to our FTP Site with the FTP software of your choice should require no more than the following information:
Host (or Hostname): ftp.coopprint.com
Username: [Contact your Sales or CSR Rep for this information]
Password: [Contact your Sales or CSR Rep for this information]
Initial Directory: [leave blank]

Using Web Browsers
If you plan to use your web browser as your FTP client (i.e. Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator or Firefox), please note that some browsers do not fully support all FTP functions. For example, Internet Explorer for the Macintosh does not support uploading of files. Some older versions of Internet Explorer for Windows do not support FTP at all. We recommend consulting your software manual or the manufacturer for support of your Browser's FTP.
