What is FTP?
FTP means File Transfer Protocol - a communications protocol governing the transfer of electronic files from one computer to another across the Internet.

Why use FTP?
You can transfer very large files (e.g.- 250MB in size) without having to worry about file size limits in email attachments and inboxes which would cause an email with an attachment to be returned.
If the connection breaks you can resume transfer from where you left off instead of having to start all over from the beginning (FTP client program needed, see below)
There are two ways to access our FTP server:-
1) You may log on using an FTP client, a program designed to access FTP sites. We recommend FileZilla for Windows and Cyberduck for Mac OS. Our server address is cppp.serveftp.net. If you have never used such a program please contact us or speak with your I.T. department.
2) You may log on by typing (or clicking on) the following address in any web browser (such as Internet explorer or Mozilla Firefox) – http://cppp.serveftp.net:8000 . However, this method is only suitable for smaller files, (less than 20 MB in size), as you can’t resume transfers.
It is advised to have all files compressed into one archive file before sending in order to reduce transfer times. You can use software such as WinZip (for Windows), or Stuffit (for Macintosh computers).
To ensure privacy you will have your own folder on our server with a unique username and password. This ensures that no one outside of yourself and designated CPPPL staff can access your information. Your username and password will be sent to you directly by email.
