The ETS file transfer service is available to share files (up to 1GB) which may be too large to email as attachments, or which may be in a format that is not accepted by the UVM mail server. Uploaded files are available for 3 weeks before the file is removed from the server.
The file transfer service is a good way to share individual files up to 1 GB in size.
This file transfer method is perfect for collaborating with people in other
educational institutions, vendors, departments, and professional organizations.
UVM affiliates can send large files to other UVM affiliates or to recipients outside of the
UVM email community. Also, people outside the UVM email community can use
the File Transfer Service to send large files to UVM affiliates. The sender can
request a confirmation that the recipient has received the file.
When using the file transfer service, please be patient as the amount of time taken to upload the file will depend on its size and your connection. Large files are likely to take longer across a wireless network than across a wired network. Please leave the window open until you receive the confirmation that your file has been successfully uploaded. Closing the window prematurely will disrupt the uploading process. Once uploaded, you will get a page similar to the image below:
Another way to ensure that your recipients have received the email is to add your own email address to the list of recipients when sending the file. This way you will also receive a recovery password to retrieve the file. Please note that passwords are unique to each recipient’s email address. Therefore, your recovery password will not work for another recipient unless they enter your email address in the recovery process.
The recipient does not have to use the email and password, they can also follow the link that is provided in the email notification.
