Viewing TIF Files & FTP

Viewing TIF Files

The digital PWF are provided as multiple page TIF files.  In order to view and print them you might need some additional software.  There are sites on the internet from which you can download software.  Some of the software is free or evaluated before you buy it. 

The Office of Geological Survey has tested several products and has found that either
v   XnView ( www.xnview.com  ) or
v IrfanView ( www.irfanview.com )

would likely meet most, if not all, of your needs.  Both are free downloads.

FTP Made Easier (if that is not an oxymoron)

What we think of as an internet connection (modem, DSL, Cable, whatever) is not as continuous as it could be. There are numerous starts and stops that are transparent to us as end users - until we try FTP. FTP operates on the premise that it has effectively uninterrupted access to the server over the web. Well, it does not. One of the many possible solutions is to get FTP client software to make up for the inadequacies of the FTP in Windows. This is analogous to replacing Notepad with a more robust word processor.

There are many options for such products. OGS staff have installed and tested one good candidate - Core FTP LE. The tested version is free. There are other options as well - including a talking ' version (not tested). For other possibilities C/net Download.com has 1,466 FTP programs in all with 348 that are for Windows XP and are free ' . For a direct connection to Core FTP LE try http://www.coreftp.com/ or http://www.coreftp.com/download.html . Whatever you find might need some modification to suit your system and needs. Adding software may not resolve problems you are experiencing using FTP, but an FTP client may well smooth out some of the rough spots using FTP from Windows.

Other applications exist and new ones come along. If you find a program you like use it.

But wait ... there's more From your favorite my web search engine typed in "how to use FTP " or some equivalent phrase and you will be inundated with possibilities.
