  Check your equipment well before departure. Make sure it is complete and working properly. Make sure you have a spare memory card or extra film.  
  Photographing children and pets is always challenging. Try carrying a whistle or other attention getting device to stop (or slow) the action.

Professional Digital Imaging Services

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

There are two choices for sending us files via the Internet:

Using E-mail:

To FotoDesk by attaching a file to an E-mail message.
  • If your file is less than fifty megabytes, you are welcome to attach the file to an E-mail message.
  • E-mail is slower and less reliable than FTP and may take extra time to transfer.
Using Your Web Browser:

FTP is our preferred method of digital transfer because FTP can handle larger files and transfer files faster than e-mail attachments.

We can accept file of any size on our FTP server. You are only limited by your own connection and patience.


To transfer files to our FTP server:

  • If you have multiple files to transfer, you can use a File Compression program such as WinZip or Stuffit to compress all your files into a single archive.
  • Next, copy your file(s) to your desktop.
  • Click on the button and a new browser window will open.
  • Next "drag and drop" your file into the browser window. Wait for your file to transfer.
  • Refresh your browser window and your file name should appear in the list
  • If you are using Internet Explorer 7, you won't be opening the ftp folder directly and you will see the following instruction at the top of the page: "To view this FTP site in Windows Explorer, click Page, and then click Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer."
  • Simply, follow the directions. The "Page" tab is found at the top of the IE7 browser window, usually near the right side.
  • IMPORTANT: This ftp site is a public site and can be viewed by anyone.

Both Internet Explorer (PC only) and Netscape Navigator (PC and Mac) support "drag and drop" FTP file transmission for many types of files.

Note to Netscape users: If you are unable to "drag and drop" the file, Netscape provides an "Upload File" command under the "File" menu.

Note to Firefox users: Firefox does not include an FTP option in the basic browser. Please go to: Firefox Add-ons. to include this capability.

Our first look shows the FireFTP is the easier one to use but this choice is up to you.

IMPORTANT: When your file transfer is complete, please E-mail: fotodesk@gpclabworks.com or give us a call at (613) 567-0770 to confirm instructions and to verify that we have received your job so can start work on it. Your job will not be clocked into production until you have verified.
