Instructions for downloading material onto the FTP site:

For PC Users ONLY:

  1. Put all the documents and submission materials in one folder titled with your last name on your computer.

  2. Use your internet browser and go to: ftp://ftp2.vancouver.ca. Type in User ID and Password when prompted:

    User ID: artstudioawards
    Password: van2011art (case sensitive)

  3. Once you have logged into the account, click "Page" (in the top right hand corner of Internet Explorer), and then click "Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer", at which point you will be prompted to log on again (User ID and Password is the same as above). Once logged on, you should have a window that you can drag and drop files into.

  4. Drag the named folder from your computer into the FTP site.

  5. If you refresh the browser window, the folder will disappear, but please do not panic. This is a security feature which prevents other applicants seeing your submission.
