Step 5. If you have successfully followed steps 1-4, you should now be logged into the Presstige Printing FTP site. You should see the directories of our FTP (cgi-bin, customerfiles, Deborra, etc.) displayed in the Windows Explorer window. From here, you should be able to navigate the FTP site similarly to any other directory in windows. If you wish to upload your files to the FTP, please place the file(s) in the customerfiles directory. If you are downloading files, look for the directory that was indicated to you, and drag those files to your desktop. It is important to be specific when letting us know when you have uploaded files to our FTP. Please let us know which directories they are in (for example: customerfiles/MyFiles/FileA) and what the files names are.
