Large File Transfer Send Files

How do you invite a student or an off-campus associate to send a file?

If you would like to give a student or off-campus associate access to the CU-Boulder Large File Transfer service so he or she can send you a large file securely, follow these steps:

The associate will receive an e-mail message with a link that will allow the associate to accept the invitation. That link will send the associate to a form to set up their account. The invitation link is only valid for 72 hours.

The account will expire after 14 days. If the student or associate still needs access, send another invitation.

How does a Recipient log in to Large File Transfer?

When you send a file to an off-campus associate, that doesn't have an IdentiKey, the recipient will be provided a link to access your file. To retreive the file, the recipient will be prompted to creat an account. They can then use that account to download the file again, if needed. The recipient's account will expire after 14 days.

The receipient will not be able to send a file back to you. If you need them to have that ability, invite the receipient using the Invite feature.
