Technology Services restricts the delivery of certain executable and archival file types (the most common being .zip) through e-mail to help prevent malicious cyber-attacks.
We recommend files be delivered via FalconShare. If you are expecting attached files from a reliable source, we suggest you create a public link using FalconShare at files.uwrf.edu. This will allow you to create an link to a folder in your home (S:) drive:
- From the files.uwrf.edu main window: File (button) > Share > Create public link (or right click on the file or folder > Share > Create public link)
