Sending Submission Data over the Internet
For customers using Windows PCs, see here.
Macintosh Version
1. Preparing the Software
1. Preparing the Software Data compression software and data transfer software should be prepared. Vanfu recommends the use of DropStuff and Fetch3.0.3J software, both of which are shareware programs. These programs can be downloaded from the following Websites.
 
About Shareware
Shareware is software that can be tried free of charge for a set period of time, after which a usage fee must be paid. To try out the software, click “Trial Use” in the dialog that appears after starting up. To register the software, refer to each of the program Websites.
 
2. Preparing the Data

Data sent to the FTP Server must be compressed, even when the amount of data is small. Compressed files can be produced by dragging and dropping the file or folder that is to be compressed on top of the DropStuff icon. The compressed file will appear on the same level as the original file.
 
Naming of Compressed Files
1. File names should only use single-byte alphanumeric characters, periods (.) and underbars (_). The use of Japanese kanji characters, hiragana, single-byte katakana, spaces, slashes, and special symbols (machine-dependent characters) will result in changes of characters on the Server, and it may not be possible to confirm the data.
2. If a file is sent that has the same file name as one already in the FTP Server, the file may overwrite the previous file with no warning message. To avoid using the same file name, do not use common names such as “output” or “businesscard”, but instead use names that include your company name and the date.
 
3. Sending the Data (Using Fetch 3.0.3J)
1. Connect to the Internet, and start up the Fetch program.
   
2. When the New Connection screen dialog is shown, input the following data and click the “OK” button.

Sending the Data (Using Fetch 3.0.3J)

Host (Connection Destination) : ftp.vanfu.co.jp
User Name : (Blank; when not using Fetch, input “anonymous”)
Password : (Customer’s telephone number, e.g. 52298254)
Directory : put (When not using Fetch, input “/vms/put”)

 
Caution!
The directory may be set to “pub” as the default setting. Be sure to re-input the directory as “put”. 		 
   
3. When the connection has been successfully made, the following dialog will be displayed.

Sending the Data (Using Fetch 3.0.3J)
   
4. Click the “Send (Put)” button.

Sending the Data (Using Fetch 3.0.3J)
   
7. Click the “OK” button to start sending the data.
   
8. When all of the indicator circles change to a dark color and disappear, the transfer will be complete. Close the Fetch program.
   
? The file you send cannot be viewed by other persons, so it is possible to use the system without worrying about security. (Once you break the connection, even you will not be able to see the file you have sent.)
 
When Using ADSL as the Telephone Connection
1. After starting up Fetch as described in (1) on the previous page, click “Cancel” in the “New Connection…” dialog to close the dialog.
   
2. Select “Default Setting” from the “Custom” menu.

1. Select “Default Setting” from the “Custom” menu.
   
2. Select the connection you are using from the “Sending Buffer Size” in the “General” tag. (When using an ADSL connection, select “128KB”.)

4.4. Faxing the Output Order Request Form

Select the check box of “FTP Server” in the column of the “Media or Transmission used for Sending”, and input the name of the file after compression as the “Name of File Sent”.

Station Counter Fax No.

Output Order Request Form
When you do not have an Output Order Request Form at hand, it can be requested from the reception of any of the VMS stations, who will provide you with a blank Output Order Request Form. It is also possible to download a PDF file of the Order Request Form from the Vanfu Website. This PDF file should be printed out and sent by fax, rather than sending it to the FTP Server as a PDF file.
 
5. Confirming by Telephone

After sending the Request Form, customers should telephone Vanfu to convey the main points. In the worst situation where a breakdown of the FTP Server or fax has occurred it may not be possible to confirm customers’ data, and work processes such as outputting will not be carried out. We therefore request that you be sure to make a confirmatory telephone call.
