File-Transfer Solutions

Monday, we asked the question “How do you deal with large file-transfers?” Here are some of the solutions you came up with:

Horde.org: Horde is an open-source PHP framework. From it, the creators have come up with a Web-based e-mail platform, reportedly with an “attach as link” option which stores files on a Web server, rather than an e-mail server.

Xythos: In conjunction with Blackboard, Xythos has a file-sharing option.

PaKnPost: A Web-based utility in which you’re provided with a retrieval link upon uploading a file. Anyone can then get access to the file, and there’s an option for password protection.

Proginet’s CyberFusion Integration: Similar to Accellion, CFI handles e-mail attachments without using the e-mail server, in addition to other file-transfer needs.

Files aren’t getting any smaller, so it will be interesting to see future solutions.—Hurley Goodall
