A quick reminder from Simmons Technology: When you need to send confidential information, don’t use email, use Xfer, the Simmons Secure File Transfer service.

Xfer allows confidential information to be uploaded and downloaded from an encrypted website here at Simmons. You upload a file, enter the recipient’s email address, and then they receive a link to download the file. You can even send information securely to non-Simmons recipients.

Xfer is the perfect way to send files that contain sensitive personal or financial information and it conforms to the Simmons Security of Sensitive Information Policy.

To get started, go to xfer.simmons.edu and enter your Simmons user name and password. There is also a “Getting Started” link with information on how to use Xfer.
