How do I access the ADINA ftp site?

Answer:

Sometimes, it is necessary to send files to or receive files from ADINA R & D. If the file size is 4 MB or less, you can send it to us as an attachment in your email. For larger files, we can exchange files via the ADINA ftp site.

To minimize the transfer time, we recommend that all files be compressed (e.g. using winzip or gzip).

We show two ways to get files from or put files to the ftp site - command mode and browser mode.

Command mode

In a Unix or DOS window,

  ftp www.adina.com
  login: anonymous
  password: <your email address>
  

To put a file, say "xyz.zip", for us, (for text file, skip the binary command)

  cd upload
  binary
  put xyz.zip
  

To get a file "abc.gz" from us, (for text file, skip the binary command)

  cd download
  binary
  get abc.gz
  

Browser mode

Start your web browser, e.g. Internet explorer.
To put a file for us, point to the following URL location in the Address bar.

  ftp://www.adina.com/upload
  

Drag your file into the folder. Note that you will not be able to see the contents of the folder.

To get a file from us, you need to know the filename. Point to the file, say "abc.gz" in the Address bar.

  ftp://www.adina.com/download/abc.gz
  

You will be prompted for the directory to save the file.
