Note that https://files.dieboldes.com will
eventually work as well. We don’t
control the dieboldes.com domain, so we have to go through corporate to get
that up. For now just use https://files.gesn.com.

You make a good point
here. After brief discussion with Tab and Ken, I've arrived at the following
solution. The Filesharing page will remain accessible from within our own staff
website.
For people who may need
to access the page from outside, they can be pointed to https://files.gesn.com where they are not
required to log in in order to use the tool.

Some engineering drawing
files from contractors are too large to email (>10MB) and the FTP site has
been of great benefit in transferring that information back and forth
throughout the development process. I understand the old FTP
service (on lucy) was too accessible and a security risk, but, at
times, it was the only way to efficiently transfer information
with outside resources.
To facilitate data
transfers to and from non-staff members, would it be possible to have a
"guest" login, perhaps through the staff site (or a completely
separate site), to a restricted area on the FTP service? Or are we
destined to FedEx CDs back and forth forever?

Many users have expressed a desire
for a better way to share files within the company. For a long time, we've run
an FTP service on lucy. This service was accessible to the outside world with
no restrictions on access, and no provisions for logging user activity. FTP was
a security risk, and I have shut it down for this reason.
All hope is not lost though - you
can still upload and download files. Please have a look here on
the staff website.
The interface is very similar to the
"html ftp listing" we used to provide. You can download files by
clicking on the hyperlink to the file (as you always have been able to). The
new functionality I have introduced is the form at the top of the page, which
will allow you to upload a file. Just hit the "browse" button to
select the file, and click the "Upload" button to transfer. There is
no restriction on file types or file size.
If you have any questions, or
problems using the tool, please let me know.
