About Sending Files Via The Internet
Files can be easily transmitted via the Internet. Most email
programs allow you to attach a file to a message, or you can use
FTP software such as Fetch on a Mac or WS_FTP on a PC. It is critical
however, that the file be properly encoded so that it can be used
by the person receiving it.
About Encoding
Most files are binary, but the Internet can only transfer text-based
files. Encoding converts your binary file into text so it can
be transferred via the Internet. The two most common encoding
methods are MIME (also called "Base 64") and BinHex
(also called "8-bit" or HQX). We recommend using MIME
for PC files and BinHex for Mac files.
About Compression
All files being sent via the Internet should be compressed first.
This can be done on a Mac using CompactPro, Stuffit or DiskDoubler.
On a PC, PKZip or WinZip are the best choices. Compressing your
files will make the files smaller to speed transfers, and it will
group multiple files into one file. We have all the latest decompression
programs, so it is not necessary or recommended to save the files
as a "self-extracting archive".
Some Tips To Ensure Successful File Transfers
- Don't try to send a Mac file from a PC, or a PC file from a
Mac.
- Don't compress files as "self- extracting archives".
- Call or email your QGC Sales Representative to let them know
the file has
been sent, and what you need done with it.
- Include the following information about the file, and any special
instructions
in the message section of the email:
-
Name of person sending file
-
Company
-
Phone number in case of a problem with the file
-
Compression program used
-
Encoding method used
