Macintosh OSX FTP Instructions
(File Transfer Protocol)

Transferring Files between your company and Empire.

Files can be transferred to Empire's FTP site with a Mac or PC using almost any FTP software. It is best to use FTP software, not an internet browser like Internet Explorer. There are a number of software packages that can be downloaded free, like RBrowser listed below, or you can use one that is already installed on your computer. Files can be sent either way "from your company to Empire" and "from Empire to your company"

Small files under 5mb may be e-mailed to Empire. You can also mail a CD or disk to the address below. Larger files may be uploaded to our FTP site. Depending on which FTP program you are using the dialog boxes and steps may be slightly different.

RBrowser
Freeware download and instructions are at- www.rbrowser.com
- Different versions are available for different Macintosh operating systems.
- Install on Mac computer. An icon can be added to the dock if wanted.
- Launch RBrowser and fill in boxes as shown.
- After you login once, you can use the shortcut under Site List/FTP Sites

If a customer needs to use our FTP service, a FTP account will be setup. A unique login and password will be e-mailed to you.

*Note Empire's FTP site and website are different addresses.

* Please e-mail the art department at after you upload a file, so Empire knows the file is ready to retrieve.

*Your User ID or Login Name is NOT an e-mail address (even though it has an @ symbol)
