Sending us your files by Email
 

You can send us your files as attachments to normal email.

Please read the check list on the right of this page before sending.

Pagefast connection to the internet is via ADSL - which means we can receive very large files at fast speed without a problem. However you should always optimise the size of file attachments before sending - especially if you are only on 56k modem connection.

In most email applications you can simply drag and drop files from your PC into the “attachments” pane or alternatively select “Insert> File” from drop-down menu.

Note that email is NOT always instant. Depending on your ISP a delay may occur in your sending and us receiving the email. However Pagefast will acknowledge receipt of your email and file when actually received.

  • TIP: It happens so often - You mean to send an attached file but forget to actually ATTACH it!
  • In this case just send the same email again WITH the file - we will understand what has happened.- we’ve all done it.

FTP: An alternative and simple method of file transfer (called FTP) which allows the sending (uploading) of files over the internet can also be used. Just let Pagefast know the exact URL of the folder on your webspace where your files reside.

Email Attachments
CHECK LIST

When sending files by either email or FTP you need to ensure that:

  • ALL necessary files are included either in a single archive or as individual items.
  • ALWAYS use compacting software such as Stuffit (PC or Mac) or WinZip (PC only) - even if file size is relatively small - this protects the file against corruption over the internet.
  • LET US KNOW your company name and details of the job in the email text
  • LET US KNOW the Software (and Version number) you used for files and preferably add the .xxx suffix to ALL files.
  • Mac users take note! Mac File info can be lost over the internet and adding DOS suffix helps identify the file type. It is good practice anyway to ensure easy cross-platform accessibility.
