I have had this problem before. If your internet host has the option, you want to get an FTP account. This way you can assign a password to access a file for your clients to upload their stuff to and download stuff you place on there too. You can up-load and download through it also. You can email stuff back and forth but do keep in mind the size. I have emailed files as large as 50 MB but the receiver had nothing in their mailbox at the time. You can send as a jpeg but make sure they save it on the highest resolution or you will greatly loose the quality of the work. Your printer will most likely have either Illustrator or Photoshop. One file format produced by Illustrator can't be opened in Photoshop and visa versa. You should speak with them first to see what format they can print from. If a client can't produce to that format, they can use a jpeg as it is universal.

It would really depend on the files that the printing company would like to print from. Usually it'll be an industry standard like Illustrator, which most companies may not have.
I would also look into getting a designer on board (if your printer cannot provide you with one) who can convert the artwork files into high resolution files with the right scale and colour comps as required.
Your first point of reference is your printer. Find out what file format they want to receive the file and how should it be delivered to them (email, zip, ISDN, FTP etc). Also will they check the files too to ensure that they are fine prior to printing. And then work backwards to your clients.
Good luck.

usually advertisers supply either blocks or repro film of the material they want you to prinst. obtaining jpg is the intermediate stage as you may have to develop film on that. so u ask your customers to give you print-ready material of their choice which will save you costs also. i am not a pro so someone in ad field will be able to tell u better.

it might actually be too smal if it's not saved correctly. contact the printing company who will be printing your magazine and ask them how you should handle the files. printers can get really peeved when documents are not packaged and saved correctly.

Jpeg should do it.
