If you haven't already done so, please download WS_FTP Pro and install it on your computer. Here is a link to IPSWITCH's website for a evaluation copy of WS_FTP Pro.

Once you open WS_FTP, the first screen you will see is the Session Properties screen, which will look similar to this:

1. You'll need to enter the following settings in your Session Profile:

• Profile Name:  (Type a Reference Name here -- eg. "Steven Label FTP")
• Host Name/Address:  ftp.stevenlabel.com
• Host Type:  Automatic detect
• User ID:  (Type your ID here)**
• Password:  (Type your Password here)**
  
  ** You'll need to get these from customer service

2. If you wish, you may choose to save your password so that you don't have to enter it each time you log in with WS_FTP. If you wish to enable this time saving feature, check the box marked 'Save Pwd'

3. Be sure the Anonymous box is unchecked.

4. Next, click on the Startup tab and you'll see the following window:

5. Type the Cartoon Character Name (given to you by customer service) in the Initial Remote Host Directory area. Use an underscore line "_" between words (do not use the space bar). There is no need to enter any other information beyond this.

6. When you are finished entering these settings, click on the OK button, and you will be connected to your own private FTP Directory on Steven Label's server (no one else will be able to open or see what is in there unless they have the correct ID and password).

Now that you are logged into Steven Label's FTP site, the WS_FTP screen should look similar to this:

As shown above, the left hand window displays the directories and files on your local hard drive, and the right hand window displays your directory and files on Steven Label's FTP site. To transfer files from one window to the other, simply click once on the file you wish to transfer, then click once on the arrow between the two windows, which points in the direction that you wish to transfer the file to.

1. Directly below the local and remote windows, you'll notice three buttons labeled
    ASCII, Binary, and Auto. For best results:

• Image files such as gif or jpeg should be uploaded in Binary mode.
• To avoid problems with selecting the correct file type, you may wish to leave the "Auto" box checked at all times.

• Keep your directory "clean" by deleting those files that you download. This will help you keep track of which are new files and which are files you've already downloaded before.
  

WS_FTP LE also allows you to create new directories, delete directories, as well as delete and rename files. These features are available by choosing the buttons to the right of the Remote System window.

To disconnect from Steven Label's FTP site, click on the Close or Exit buttons at the bottom of the screen. The next time you connect with WS_FTP, your session profile will be saved for you. Simply make sure you have the right profile, and choose the "Connect" button.
