Calendar FTP Dropbox

USHPA uses File Transfer Protocol (FTP) drop boxes to receive content for the calendar. To use FTP, you must have a working FTP client. Refer to "Utilities" below for more information on clients.

Calendar Uploads

Please do not deposit anything that does not directly relate to the calendar, such as magazine photos or documents, into this dropbox. Contact the office for more information on uploading types of materials.

To access the Calendar dropbox:

Hostname: ftp://www.ushpa.aero
User ID: calendardrop
Password: Months8Flying

Once logged on, you'll be able to upload your files and view the listings for files and directories; however, you won't be able to view or download the files themselves, even those you create.

To keep things organized, please create on your desktop a folder with your name  (firstname_lastname), place all your photos and text in this folder, and upload the folder to the dropbox.

Please contact the Martin Palmaz (martin@ushpa.aero) after you have successfully uploaded your material.

If you have any questions on how to transfer files or the dropbox is, for some reason, unavailable, contact the editor, or call the office at (800) 616-6888.

Utilities

Connection to either dropbox requires the use of an FTP client and there are clients for every computing platform available today. These instructions will help you get linked up.

If you're using Microsoft Windows, using Internet Explorer may be problematic for uploading files, since MS has made changes to IE with respect to FTP. Some free FTP clients that come recommended are SmartFTP, WS FTP, or EngInSite DataFreeway.

If you're using Macintosh OS X,  we recommend using FileZilla. Fetch for Mac is NOT compatible. If you who want to use something other than Fetch we recommend Transmit,or OneButtonFTP, or Cyberduck.

If you are using a Linux distribution, many FTP clients are available; gFTP works wonderfully.

Each FTP program works in a slightly different way so we can't provide exact step-by-step directions for each program but we can attempt to answer questions if you have problems. Feel free to contact us at (800) 616-6888 if you require assistance.
