This looks great Bob. Do you have an aproximation how much effort and time went into this server drop box? -----Original Message----- From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@hrinet.org] On Behalf Of Robert Beattie Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2006 6:27 AM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Max xfd (PureEdge) File sizes? We were worried about the size of files being sent via email too. Not so much the problem of just one file as we can have in theory up to 100mb transmitted. We were worried about getting 50 such files in our mail server. Thus our grants office IT staff created a server "drop box" which allows PI's and their staff to upload their file. See here for a discussion of how this works. http://www.research.umich.edu/era/grantsgov/dx_howto.html Once the file is uploaded, 4 staff members get a message that it is there. When one of them opens the file, the other 3 and the uploader get a message that this has been done. Uploading requires use of our campus secure log in.

We are currently having PIs e-mail the file to our Grant and Contract Office, but I'm afraid we will need a better solution when the files become larger. Any feedback would be great. Many thanks!
