Cal WebFiles: who knew this existed?

Say you have a client who for some [f... rustrating] reason can't access your department's FTP site (this has happened to me recently) — well, check this site out: webfiles.berkeley.edu.

Believe it or not, Cal WebFiles is hosted on campus, and is available to all students, faculty, and staff. Cal WebFiles provides web publishing, file storage, and file sharing.

To start using WebFiles, here's a quick tutorial:

(1) Create your own account.

(2) Upload a file you wish to share with your client.

• Click "Upload"


• Select "Number of files to upload" (at right)


• Choose file(s)


• Click "OK"

Note: There is no file size limit. (Well, within reason: Each user account receives 300MiB of secure online file storage space.)

(3) Send an email with link to file to your client.

• Check box next to file you want to send


• Click "Email Icon" in menu bar


• Select "Ticket"


• Click "Email"


• Address email and add any additional copy


• Send email to your client
