  Using FTP on FirstClass
Using the FTP folder, located in the Internet Services folder on the administrator’s Desktop, you can make files available for download on your FirstClass system.
The FTP folder contains conferences, folders, and files available for download using the FTP protocol.
You can upload files to the FTP folder (subject to permissions), create FirstClass documents in it, or alias conferences and folders to it. All information in this folder is available to authenticated users, anonymous users (if you have this option enabled), and FTP clients (any FTP program). You can enable anonymous FTP users on the FTP tab on the Advanced Web & File form.
Uploaded files and documents, whether uploaded directly to the FTP folder or to a conference aliased to that folder, are available for FTP download. Messages within an aliased conference will also be available, but not attachments to those messages. Any attachments you wish FTP users to download should be uploaded separately.
For Mac OS X environments, files in the FTP folder must be in a suitable form for downloading. For example, multifork Mac files must be in BinHex or MacBinary format, since FTP does not support multifork file transfers. Internet Services does not perform conversions dynamically.
