About FTP
An FTP site has been set up to help you interact
and exchange files with Koning Eizenberg Architecture.
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. This protocol provides a standard
way to transfer files between computers, regardless of the operating
system on each computer (Windows, DOS, MacOS, UNIX, etc.). It is the
most common protocol used for exchanging files between computers on
the Internet.
Where It Is and How It Works
The ftp site has been structured to allow each user
access to the specific project folders they are working on Each project
will have two folders "####xxxx_to_kea" and "####xxxx_from_kea".*
*Note: users will be able to read/write (upload, download, delete) to
the "####xxxx_to_kea" folder but only read (download or save
as) from the "####xxxx_from_kea" folder.
In order to protect our work and the privacy of our clients you will
be supplied a user name and a password by KEA’s system administrator.
• The FTP site can be accessed using
a browser window:
1. Internet Explorer (IE) for Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP.
2. Safari for Mac OSX
• Or, alternatively, an FTP program such as:
1. WS_FTP for Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP.

• In accessing the FTP
server you will need to have our IP address: Contact your KEA
Project Manager for the server address. You will also need and a User Name/ ID.
Per project they will be named with the number and name of the project
(example:project# 9523 for the Mondrian Hotel) "9523mond".
Your password will be issued by the system administrator (example:
“mond####”).
The procedure for accessing the FTP site using browser windows is explained below.
FTP using IE - Internet Explorer (Windows)
• On your PC, open up an Internet Explorer window
• In the Address bar, type "ftp://" followed by the server IP address: Contact your KEA Project
Manager for the server IP address
• A window will pop-up prompting you for a username and password. Enter the username and password:
• User ID: 0025pcmc (example)
• Password: pcmc#### (example)
• Click the "Log On" button. You can add this page to your Favorites (go to Favorites menu and click on "Add to Favorites"). You can also check the "Save password" box so you won't have to enter it again.
• The browser window will change to look like an Explorer window showing the folders "from_kea" and "to_kea". You can then operate just like within an Explorer window: customizing the view (icons, list, details), navigating within folders, copying and pasting files from other Explorer windows from your computer, dragging and dropping files, etc. (see included screen shots)
• To log out, just close the IE window.
