Windows FTP Instructions

The easiest way to FTP files is by using the INTERNET EXPLORER web browser. Click here for a window that makes this really easy. (Firefox and others don't do FTP upload, unfortunately.)

Alternative: I believe many people still use WS-FTP for their FTP needs. WS-FTP works a whole lot like Transmit, so once you've installed it, you can pretty much follow the Mac instructions to the right.

 

 

 

Macintosh FTP Instructions

  1. OS X users: Don't bother trying to use OS X's built-in FTP client ("Go:Connect to Server..." from the Finder.") It doesn't allow you to upload files to our anonymous FTP server, for some reason.
     
  2. Instead, download "transmit", this super great FTP client from the folks at panic.com This works for OS 9 as well as OS X. You can use transmit for free, and even after the trial period expires, most of its functionality remains.
     
  3. Launch Transmit.
     
    Where it says Server: type:
    ftp.sampleswap.org
     
    You can leave User Name and Password blank.
     
    Where it says Initial Path: type:
    incoming
     
  4. Once you're connected, you can drag sound files from the left hand of the screen (your computer) to the right-hand of the screen (our computer)
     
  5. Thanks for the noize!
