Emailing a link to a Public File

Emailing a link to a Public File

In addition to public file sharing, users can also email a link to a public file (available in the Enterprise edition only) directly from within the web client. Users just need to click the Email button on a file (and have the appropriate folder permissions granted by the administrator for sharing) to open a message dialog for emailing the file.

Cerberus FTP Server will use the first SMTP server configured in the Event Manager’s Targets page as the email server for sending emails.

Note: Even if you email multiple users, you will only receive one notification, which is from the first time the file is downloaded. This is because we create a public link when emailing multiple users and therefore cannot correlate the download with the email address.

What the File Recipient Sees

The recipient of the email message will receive an email with your user’s message, and a public, unique link to the file. Cerberus will log all access to the file’s public link.
