...is that they're nearly impossible to send and receive through email. Big files consume bandwidth, fill up the receiver's inbox, overburden your email servers and clog up your Outlook .pst/.ost files. As ISP's and IT administrators fight viruses and lock down their networks, it's becoming harder and harder to attach any files to an email. (System Administrators, click here!)

OutDisk FTP for Email with optional Outlook add-in will automatically upload big file attachments to your FTP server, with no user knowledge of FTP required.

OutDisk insulates users from the complexities of FTP. Once setup, the user attaches their files, clicks "Use OutDisk", and then sends the file. An optional file size threshhold can be set to automatically upload file attachments that exceed a pre-set size.

And its easy to administer. Multiple users can share one FTP account. Each user can have a unique "working" directory. OutDisk will create a unique subdirectory for each email beneath the working directory. This adds security: by not co-mingling files, the recipient can only access the files that they are intended to access.

Selecting Files

Selecting files is easy with OutDisk. Just attach your files to your Outlook email, and then select the "Use OutDisk" button.

When you press send, OutDisk inserts link into your email that allows the recipient to download your file, as well as a editable message indicating the time that the file should be available for download. OutDisk then sends your files to your ftp server.

Configuring OutDisk

OutDisk can be configured many different ways. For example, instead of a link inserted into the email, OutDisk can be configured to attach a text file containing the download information instead.

A file size threshhold can automatically activate OutDisk when attachments exceed a certain size.
