Digital entries should be upload to our competition FTP. The FTP details are as follows:

server: figureitout.sideshowtoy.com
username: figureitout
password: ssc^2008?


i type the server in and it takes me right back to the main page!

The little link on the left that says "Upload Entry"...


Go to your web browser and enter...

ftp://figureitout.sideshowtoy.com

...or click the link and enter the username and password from the Upload Entry page.

You need to use an FTP client program to log on and upload your video. They offer 2 free programs in the "Upload Entry" section of the contest description. I believe Cyberduck for Macs or Filezilla for PC users.

i hear filezilla leaves spyware on your system. do you need to specifically use the filezilla file transfer protocol program? i use smart ftp. it's also free.

You can also open the FTP site in Windows Explorer and just drag and drop or copy and paste into the folder.

not sure how that works. do you use internet explorer to get to the ip address, enter username and pw when prompted? then drag and drop with windows explorer?

No, use plain old Windows Explorer and enter the ftp site up in the address bar; it will popup a dialog box asking for the username and password and if correct, then show up as folder in Explorer, where you can use it like any folder on your hard drive (almost).

you know, i never knew you could utilize explorer on an ftp site.

You can use it as a browser too (since that is what it really is); just enter a web site URL and it will show the site!
