Sending Files To Econoprint (IE 6 & 7)

The following guide covers Windows 2000 / XP with Internet Explorer 6 and 7. As a service to our customers, Econoprint maintains an FTP site that allows anonymous uploads. This means that you can send us a print file at any time of day or night, without needing a username or password.

  1. Contact your Customer Service Representative to confirm your Econoprint job number. While this is not strictly necessary, it does make it easier for us to locate your project on our server, especially if you are working with us on several projects at once.
  2. Create a new folder on your desktop, and rename it to something descriptive, preferably containing your Econoprint job number.
  3. COPY all of your files (including fonts, clip art, and main files) into the folder you created. Be careful not to "move" the files.
  4. If you're a Windows XP user, right-click on the folder and choose "Send To Compressed (zipped) File" from the menu. If you're using a different version of Windows, or the Compressed (zipped) File option is not available, we highly recommend compressing the folder into a single file using software such as PKZip, WinZip, or DropZip. All of these compression utilities can be found at www.download.com.
  5. Type the following in your Address bar and press Enter:

    ftp://ftp.msn.econoprint.com/pub/inbox

    Note the ftp:// at the beginning and the lack of a "www"!

    Attention IE7 Users
    To upload a file, you must open the FTP site in Windows Explorer. Click the "Page" button and choose "Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer".

  6. Drag your zipped file into the window. You should see a progress bar; once the progress bar is complete, your file is at Econoprint.
  7. Contact your Customer Service Representative to let them know that you have dropped off a file. Include the filename in your email. Work will not begin on your project until you have discussed the specifications of the project with your Customer Service Representative.
