Question Answer Question I am trying to share a file with someone, but email rejects it as it is too large or it gets corrupted. Please tell me how I can share this file. Answer Oftentimes you want to move a file larger than 12MB, the maximum file size that e-mail allows. In order to make these files available, you can make use of the web page provided with your engineering account. To host a file follow these steps: 1) In your U:// drive there should be a folder called "www." If there isn't one, go ahead and make a folder called "www." 2) Put inside this folder all the files you want to share on your personal website. 3) Once the files you want to share are in "www," you need to set permissions for others to download them. This process differs if you are on a Windows OS or a Soalris. Windows: On your desktop should be an icon called "ENG Web Permissions." Double-click on it and enter your username and password to set permissions. Unix:Open up a terminal window and enter the following: ssh green.eng.utoledo.edu. Enter your username and password and then enter this command: /eng/local/bin/webperm.sh . This will set the permissions. Remember to repeat this procedure when you add new files to "www." 4) Your files are ready to share. Now others can access them by opening any internet browser and entering in the following address: https://www.eng.utoledo.edu/~(yourUserName)/(fileName.ext) Replace the fields in parenthesis above with your information and give the address to those who need the data. If they cannot access the file, e.g. no download window appears, then verify that the permissions were set correctly in step 3. The above procedure should allow you to share files up to the space on your u:// Drive remaining. If you have any questions, please contact us at the help desk in NI 1013.
