DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE AND FILES
Most of our software is available for direct download for authorized persons and entities. If you are a new user of our software and need to be able to download it in order to install on your system or simply need to re-install it on an existing system, please email our IT department at downloads@gafsis.com for instructions.
For existing users, you may point your browser to http://www.gafsis.org/protected/ to download the file(s) of your choice. Please note that this directory is password protected. You must be authorized by Georgia Federal-State Inspection Service and set up with a username and password in order to access the files and software.

FILE UPLOAD
Many times it becomes necessary for someone to send us a file during the course of a troubleshooting session. The required files are often too large to be sent through email. In such cases, an alternative method is needed to allow the files to be sent and retrieved. The solution is our FTP File Upload area set up on our server specifically for this purpose.
| Uploading Files Through Internet Explorer |
NOTE: The procedure below uses anonymous FTP. You should not be asked for a username or password.
- Place the file you wish to upload onto your desktop. (You may put it in a folder on your desktop if desired.)
- Open Internet Explorer.
- In the address bar of the browser, type ftp://ftp.gafsis.org/ and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
- On the menu at the top, click "View" and then click "Open FTP site in File Explorer".
- Minimize all windows except the Windows Explorer window that just opened.
- Resize the Windows Explorer window and drag it to the side so that the desired file or folder is visible on your desktop.
- Drag the desired file from the desktop and drop it on top of the folder labeled "incoming" in your Windows Explorer window.
- Watch for a notification window that will state "Copying ...". Once it disappears, then your file has been uploaded.
- Notify the IT Department at GA FSIS that your file has successfully uploaded.
- CONGRATULATIONS! You have successfully uploaded your file.
