Quick User Guide
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Select the file(s) you want
to share from your computer by clicking the "Browse" button
Click the "Upload File
Now" button. What this does is copy your file(s) into a holding area on
the web server. Shared files are stored in the holding area for 5 days and
then they're automatically deleted. This prevents the holding area from
becoming cluttered.
Complete the details about who you are, your email address is, the email address(s) of recipient(s) you're sharing the file with, an email subject, any comments you wish to make, then click the "Email Details Now" button. What this does is send a small email to the recipient(s) you've specified, telling them that there are file(s) waiting for them to collect and telling them how to collect it/them. You'll also receive a small email confirming the details of your transaction.
To share the same file with many recipients:
Nominate the email address of the main recipient in the "To:" field of the form presented in Step 2, and one or more email addresses in the "Cc:" field of the form. Multiple email addresses need to be separated by a comma eg. person@here.com,another@there.com
Only files that are less than 150 MB big will be shared.
Only files having the following upper or lower case extensions may be uploaded
(even if they're inside a compressed or zipped archive): .ai .avi .dat .dat .dll .dmg .doc .eps .exe .i00 .indd .ini .jpeg .jpg .lha .log .log .lzh .mdb .mde .nrg .pdf .ppt .prx .ps .psd .qxd .rar .rtf .sit .sox .spx .tif .tiff .ttf .txt .vsd .xls .xtg .zip
You will have the option to
select a username and password combination
which must be entered before the file will be shared with the your intended
recipient(s).
NOTES:
Username and password are CASE-SENSITIVE and must be entered by the recipient(s) EXACTLY as you entered them in the system.
For security, you will need to communicate the username and password to the recipient(s) by some method other than the File Sharing Facility eg. by phone.
An Anti-SPAM verification code is used by File Sharing Facility to discourage nasty email spammers from using File Sharing Facility to send bulk unsolicited emails. The verification code is a sequence of upper-case letters displayed as an image. You must enter the letters in the same sequence AND in upper-case in order for the code to work.
