Upload Files

Upload Files

There are two ways to upload files to servers of Fox Rendefarm:

• WEB: Users may upload files through web, which supports multi-thread uploading and continuous transmission on the breakpoint. WEB uploading can only be proceeded via IE browser.
• FTP: "Transmission at break-points" will work when the network recovers if you meet a sudden interruption during uploading. (Jump to "FTP Upload Guide")
If you use a Windows system or IE browser, WEB uploading is recommended.

How to use Fox Renderfarm on Mac / Linux?
The Web-Upload function is only available on IE browser. Since there is no IE browser on Mac and Linux, you are not able to upload or download files via Web. However, you still can monitor render tasks on all kinds of browser. If you need to upload or download files, please use Filezilla Fox Mac or Filezilla Fox Linux. Please contact customer representative for FTP settings.

After registration, you will get a space of 100G which contains 3 folders named as "max_project", "maya_project", and "vray_standalone". (Different user can only see his own directories.)

Users can see these directories in both WEB uploading and FTP uploading:

Please upload relative files into corresponding directories.
