Configuring FTP Clients - Windows
Last Modified: 3/27/2000

Because most FTP clients will not automatically recognize the QuarkXPress xtg file format (.xtg) as ASCII text files, they must be configured to do so. Incorrect configuration will result in the files being transferred as binary, which cannot be read by Dispatch. Instructions are provided here for proper configuration of WS_FTP for Windows.

1. From the main WS_FTP window, select the Options button. In the Properties dialog, select the Extensions tab, type in .xtg (including the leading period) in the upper box, then click on "Add".

2. With the Properties dialog still open, go to the Session (cont'd) tab and select Auto Detect as the Startup Transfer Mode. Make sure that none of the File Names checkboxes above are selected.
