Sending Ads for Production
Once you have purchased AD space in FE you will need to send us your artwork. After having your ads produced according to our Production Specs, there are two methods of which we can receive your ads.

FTP
Upload your files to HOST: mediapeach.com and please contact us regarding FTP login and password.

To connect to The FE site you must use a FTP client program such as Fetch® for the Mac or WS_FTP® for Windows. (A Web browser such as Netscape® or Internet Explorer® is not suitable.)

Before uploading your ad, please compress all the necessary files into a single archive using file compression software such as StuffIt™ or WinZip®. (This is crucial to maintaining the integrity of your files.)

The filename of your archive should not contain any slashes (/ or \), spaces, commas, question marks (?) or ampersands (&). Underscores (_) and hyphens (-) are alright. Please limit your filenames to 28 characters. Please do not create self-extracting archives (.sea or .exe). These types of files can carry computer viruses and are unusable if not transferred properly. Also, .exe files cannot be read by our Macintosh-based production systems. Files can be transferred in a variety of compression types and protocols. Both PC and Macintosh users should transfer their files as “raw data,” “binary,” or “8-bit”.

Delivered Disk
SENDING FILES ON DISK: Files must have all images and fonts included. Please send files to the following address,

FE c/o Mediapeach Inc.
Mediapeach Inc.
171 Main Street South, Suite 10
Newmarket, ON L3Y 3Y9

Please contact us to confirm that a cd has been sent and when it is expected to arrive. Be sure to label the disk clearly and include the issue(s) as well as the Ad size(s). Include hard copy proof of the ad(s). Accepted Media 100MB Zip, DVD or CD.

Why we do not recommend E-Mail Submissions
Email can be a very unreliable form of transmission because it relies on many servers to route the information across the Internet. If one of those servers goes down, your email can get stuck and not arrive for hours, even days! There are also cross platform compatibility issues that may corrupt your file en route. FTP, on the other hand, involves a direct connection between only two computers – yours, and our FTP server. And it allows you to see your file after it has been sent, unlike email. Please contact us if you require to send your AD by email.
