Email Links (URL)

Email Links (URL)

Previous Top Next

This is a option provided for users who has a website. Instead of sending picture&video as email attachment, you can send only the "links" by email. So your friends can view your picture by clicking the URL. To make use of this function, both email list, email template and FTP list need to be setup properly. Also, you need to define a template for the URL link.

URL Link template
Unless you want to give out the FTP server password for user to access, you are strongly recommended to email http links instead of ftp links.

What's the difference
To access your files, a FTP link need to embed the user name and password. For example, if you uploaded "movie.mpg" to ftp.server.com under "My files" directory and your user name is "user" and password is "Pass", the FTP link generated by XmediaStorm will be:

ftp://user:pass@ftp.server.com/MyFiles/movie.mpg

However, if you use http link, it will be:

http://www.server.com/MyFiles/movie.mpg

How to start
STEP1: Tick the FTP server to use from server list.
STEP2: Tick the emails to send from email list.
STEP3: Tick the option "Upload items to selected FTP server(s) and email the file links."
STEP: Click button 'SEND'.
