Due to email storage limitations, we ask that you first consider sending ad files via FTP (see below). Transmission of email files are more dependable if they are compressed with Stuffit Deluxe (www.allume.com) for the Macintosh and WinZip (www.winzip.com) for the PC. Do not compress Mac files with WinZip or files being sent to us will become corrupt, including fonts. Both software can package and compress elements together for electronic shipment or storage. Files exceeding 5Mb in size must be sent via removable media or FTP.

The Penton Media FTP site is located at this URL: ftp://adclient:adclient@ftpserver2.penton.com. Please compress your Macintosh or Windows files prior to sending them. This helps avoid corruption. Do not create folders on the FTP server. Keep the file name simple; example: "Yourname104MRT.sit" identifies the ad with your company name, followed by the month, year and magazine for which the ad is intended. Avoid generic names such as "VideoSystems.zip".

Step-By-Step Instructions to FTP Files for Windows Users

Step 1:
Access the Penton Media FTP site at the URL above which contains the login. FTP transfer can be done with the standard Internet Explorer browser on the PC. NOTE: With Internet Explorer 5.5, on some systems, you may need to either activate or de-activate the following: Tools / Internet Options / Advanced / Browsing / Use Passive Mode. If you encounter a log-on screen, enter "adclient" as the user name and password.

Step 2:
After you have succeeded with the log-in, copy the file from the original location, then select the FTP window and paste the copy to the appropriate publication folder.

Step 3:
Please notify the Production Coordinator that the file is ready to retrieve.

If there is an interruption while processing the file, you may need to re-name the file and go through the transfer again. A safety feature exists that does not allow a file to overwrite another file of the same name, so if there is a partially-submitted file, the second attempt will not transfer.
