This page is intended to provide you some guidance on how to fast-track your order
by e-mailing your data file(s) to us, so please check out
FIRST the following recommendations:
Note: Due to server-side security, we can no longer accept regular
browser ( anonymous FTP ) uploading so we invite you to use E-MAIL whenever possible. If you require FTP access for faster turnaround please
contact us and read through our
FTP access page.
Your data files should get attached to your message.
We would like you to SEND us your data file(s) in a compressed
format ( ZIP is the preferred choice ). By compressing the data attachment(s) you should also be able to drastically reduce the time required to execute the upload ( and similarly cut the download time at the destination point - ours!). Since data files are highly compresibble in general, the size of the file you will actually transfer after compressing your list will be a lot less than the original.
To learn more about compression, how to use it and/or to get a free copy of the latest software appropriate
for your system try this link :
You can generally prevent message corruption ( and also frustrating long message re-sents) on its way to us by appropriately formatting your message. It is therefor advisable to enable encoding for your messaging system ( MIME is the preferred choice ) and to use a compression format
(as outlined above) for your file attachment(s). By doing so, usually
there should be no further delays ( other than the ones inherently introduced by Internet inter-servers communications !!) in our proper receiving of your message and immediately starting to work on your data.
Please note that the file attachments are not pre-processed in any way by the
e-mail clients themselves but simply get "appended" to the rest
( body - i.e : text or HTML / RTF code ) of your message.
Also "encoding" merely provides a way to ensure a safer reconstruction of
the whole message at the receiving end. It does not mean any improved
transmission security.

Message privacy/security can be achieved through "encryption" and is an entirely different matter.
If you need more information related to this subject you can check this
page.
If you have any concerns, please review our
privacy policies
or
let us know.
Since there are lots of popular e-mail clients in use today and, in general, each has different ways to implement the above requirements, we cannot offer specific setup details
on this page. For instructions on how to do it please consult your own software
documentation.
