The Send option lets you send files and folders located in the file system to recipients.

Procedure

2. Click the Folder tree and locate your file or folder.
3. Select the checkboxes next to the files or folders you want to send, and click the Send button. Once you click on the Send button, the email form appears.

5. The Message field is available in the email body and is not sent with encryption.
6. Private Message content will be encrypted for delivery and not visible within the email body when the recipients receive the message.

Instead, the recipient will read the Private Message from a web page with SSL encryption.

7. Click the date next to Expiration Date to open the calendar and select a date when you want the files to be no longer downloadable.
   The link that provides access to the files and private messages from the web ceases to be active at midnight of the selected date.
8. Select the Priority of the message: High, Normal, Low.
9. Select Notify me when a recipient collects the files to receive an email when a recipient downloads the files you have sent.
10. Select Request recipient login to let user register their email address and create a personal password before they are allowed to download the contents of your mail.
    Only those listed in the recipient fields have access to the files.

If the message is forwarded, recipients will not access the files or register an email address not included in the original recipient list.

11. Click the Send Message.

Messaging password

MFT site Administrators can switch to a message password option instead of recipient login.

note

Passwords for distribution are optional if they are not enforced by Site Administrators.

You can manually define the password or click the Generate button. The MFT Site Administrators defines the password length and complexity based on the Site Password options.

Domain filter

Boomi Managed File Transfer Site Administrators can also enable a domain filter for the message password option. In this case, allowed email domains do not require passwords for distributions. Any unauthorized domain will prompt a password request for access to the distribution.
