Perideo FTP Gateway
If you have been given a username and password, you may use our FTP gateway to obtain CAD files or other project-specific data.
Our FTP server is found at ftp://perideo.com You may use any ftp client software, and you may even find success simply by pointing your browser to ftp://perideo.com, although I always seem to run into difficulties when I try to use the browser. It must be something to do with some darn settings somewhere...
Meanwhile, may we suggest our favorite ftp client, FileZilla, which can be downloaded from this link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/
Also, there is an excellent list of available FTP Client programs here.
If you need assistance, please contact us.
Good luck. We're all depending on you.
File Transfer Protocol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FTP or File Transfer Protocol is used to connect two computers over the Internet so that the user of one computer can transfer files and perform file commands on the other computer.
Specifically, FTP is a commonly used protocol for exchanging files over any network that supports the TCP/IP protocol (such as the Internet or an intranet). There are two computers involved in an FTP transfer: a server and a client. The FTP server, running FTP server software, listens on the network for connection requests from other computers. The client computer, running FTP client software, initiates a connection to the server. Once connected, the client can do a number of file manipulation operations such as uploading files to the server, download files from the server, rename or delete files on the server and so on. Any software company or individual programmer is able to create FTP server or client software because the protocol is an open standard. Virtually every computer platform supports the FTP protocol. This allows any computer connected to a TCP/IP based network to manipulate files on another computer on that network regardless of which operating systems are involved (if the computers permit FTP access). There are many existing FTP client and server programs.
