Computing Services › FileX - File Transfer
FileX is a secure file transfer system that enables Projects, KPBS and Central Staff employees to securely transfer files. For a full list of features please visit the FileX FAQs.
To access FileX login to My Service Desk. You will need your Foundation e-mail address, password and RedID.
The file upload process allows you to upload files that can later be downloaded via the generated secure web link. The link can either be e-mailed to you or sent to your intended recipient(s) on your behalf. We recommend you compress all files to be sent using a compression program, such as WinZip. Not only will this allow you to send large quantity of files at once, but also improve upload and download times.
Sometimes it may necessary for someone to send you a file, for that we've designed an "Invitation" process, where you will provide the senders e-mail address to our server. The server will then send that person a secure web link that will expire once it has been used. The link allows the senders to upload up to three files at once. Again it's recommended that a compression program be used when sending a large quantity of files. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact the Service Desk.
