Request files wizard

Use the Request Files wizard to receive files by sending a link to a page to which other users can upload file.

For added security, you can set the page link expiration and add file constraints and restrictions.

To send a file share request:

  1. Enter a subject title.
  2. Enter any additional comments.
  3. Enter your contact information.
  4. Enter the guest user's email address.
  5. Set an expiration date for when the link to upload files will expire. 90 days is the maximum time for link availability.
  6. Select the appropriate options to be notified when files have been uploaded, to send a download link in the email, to set file size limits, and to require a password to access Serv-U.

    Optional steps include copying the URL into an email, or having an email automatically sent from your email client.
