UN RADIO PROGRAMME DISTRIBUTION SERVICE
 
UN Radio distributes our daily live news programme and our numerous weekly feature series to partner broadcasters through our FTP (file transfer protocol) server. This service enables us to disseminate quickly and efficiently high-quality recordings of our radio programmes worldwide. Digital sound preserves sound quality better than cassette tape, and can be downloaded and distributed easily for broadcast use.

We also distribute our programmes via email, on request, and would be happy to discuss other forms of distribution that would respond to your needs.

WHAT IS FTP?
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a method of obtaining electronic files through the Internet using dedicated software. Files on an FTP server are organized hierarchically, and FTP servers usually require a login and password to access files on them.

WHERE CAN ONE OBTAIN FTP SOFTWARE?
There are several FTP client software applications for PC users, some of which are free. Use any Search engine such as Google or Yahoo to find and download a free FTP software.

Alternately, you may use a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator to access our FTP server.
