Sending Documents to Your Folder Using Authorized Send

Return to Overview

Authorized Send offers an easy way to specify your folder as the destination when you send documents to a file server. If Active Directory is used as an authentication server, the machine automatically obtains your home directory name (folder name) from an authentication server during communication with the server when you log in to Authorized Send. With the selection of <Send File to Self>, you can specify this folder as destination.
The section describes how to use Authorized Send to specify your folder as destination.


Remark
  • To specify your folder as destination, make sure of the following:
  • Your home directory attribute is registered on an authentication server. (Consult your network administrator.)
  • If Active Directory is not used as an authentication server, or you want to manually specify your folder as destination, the folder specified in <Folder Path> under <Specify destination folder> is used as the destination when <Send File to Self> is selected. (See "Specifying the Authorized Send Settings.")
