Bobcats received access to an improved, secure file transfer system on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2020, called TXST File Transfer.
TXST File Transfer is powered by LiquidFiles, a virtual app that helps companies and organizations send, receive, and share large files rapidly and securely. It replaced a long-standing university file transfer program and offers several unique features.
Using the system, all Bobcats can transfer files within the Bobcat community and with external collaborators.
Users access TXST File Transfer through a web browser. The system includes features that make file transferring easier than ever. Bobcats can still send and request files from individuals as before, but now they can also:
- Send a file to one or more people.
- Receive notifications when files are uploaded.
- Access these tools:
-
- User File Drop – a URL you can use to securely send and receive files.
- Group File Drop – a permanent file drop location that can be set up as a form to securely receive/notify a group upon receipt of files.
- FileLink – Upload a file and get a randomized URL to share with anyone you want to download the file.
