Files may be submitted via FTP. The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files between a client and server on a computer network.
FTP software such as FileZilla speeds up your file transferring process and provides you with detailed information on the progress of the uploading procedure. You may obtain FileZilla for free from the following address: https://filezilla-project.org/
An FTP username and password is required to connect to our FTP servers and will be provided to you by the Spotpress Prepress Department.
The suggested settings for Filezilla are:
Host: ftp.spotnews.com.au Port: 21 Encryption Use explicit FTP over TLS if available Logon Type: Normal User: (The username provided to you) Password: (The password provided to you)
Files may be submitted using your internet browser by visiting the following address: https://ftpupload.spotnews.com.au/
This website acts as an FTP client and will connect you to our FTP server. An FTP username and password are still required
to connect to our FTP servers via the browser and will be provided to you by the Spotpress Prepress Department.
Using this method eliminates the need to install dedicated FTP software onto your computer but lacks the ability to view detailed
information like file transfer speeds that a high-end user might require.
While filling out the required information in the Quotation Request Form, you will be able to enter notes about your project under the notes section. You can contact us directly in case of any queries. Our Sales Representatives on (02) 9549 1156 are always ready to answer your questions and accommodate your needs.
Yes, but please be aware that stock specifications outside our normal paper inventory will require us to make a special order to the paper mill for your job. This may slow down your project.
