ZendTo is a secure file transfer service available to Lancaster University staff. This service will make it easier to transfer files, up to 2GB in size, in and out of the University.

Staff can:

• login to the system and drop off files for recipients to pick up;
• login to pick up a file that has been added for them.

People external to the University can:

• send files to staff as long as they know the staff's email address;
• collect files staff have sent to them.

You can transfer Ordinary, Confidential, Restricted and Personal information with ZendTo to the relevant people. This method of sharing files is more secure than emails because:

• Files are stored on and accessed from our Lancaster University secure network;
• Files are scanned for viruses when they are uploaded;
• ZendTo does not store the files indefinitely, after 14 days the files are deleted from the system.

The table below summaries the encryption required when sending different information classifications to people inside and outside of the University:

	Sending Internally	Sending Externally
Ordinary	No encryption required	No encryption required
Confidential	No encryption required*	Encryption required
Restricted	No encryption required*	Encryption required
Personal	No encryption required*	Encryption required

* ZendTo keeps files out of email and keeps the files safe during transmission. If you need to save the files you receive, save them to central file store (our secure University network) and ensure they are not saved on the actual computer. If you intend on transferring sensitive personal data, you can encrypt the file before adding it into ZendTo for an extra layer of protection (Search Encryption in LancasterAnswers for step by step instructions on encryption).

When a recipient picks up a file(s), the sender receives an email stating the file has been collected and which computer was used to collect it.

ZendTo is accessible via any internet browser and is located on our own secure server.

ZendTo is currently in Beta version.
