[Xerte] Re: Issues sharing a tutorial made on Media Interactions template

Sun Jul 31 10:37:40 BST 2011

It's what my university uses for large file sharing rather than emailing -
you upload a file to the fluff server, it sends you a link, then you email
that link to whoever you want to be able to access the file

Ooh ok I'll try searching for the password

Thanks again
