Most email providers, including UVM, restrict messages to a certain maximum size, or prohibit certain types of attachments.   It can be frustrating or impossible to share files ranging from PowerPoint presentations to multimedia files via email.  Fortunately, there is an easy way to exchange files large and small without resorting to email attachments.  

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. 

To use the service, simply visit http://www.uvm.edu/filetransfer.

Your comments and suggestions on this service, as with other ETS services, are always welcome at ets@uvm.edu.
