As part of your CAEDM account you are allowed a temporary FTP site so you can share files with other people ouside the college or university. To set up your temporary FTP, go to https://ssl.et.byu.edu/cms and login with your CAEDM username and password. Click the link called "Temporary FTP" on the left hand side. This should bring up the CAEDM Temporary FTP Manager and there will be a button named "Generate". Clicking this button will set up your Temporary FTP and you will be redirected to the Temporary FTP Manager Page. (Note: It may take up to 5 mins for your FTP to be enabled) You will see that your site has been created but the username and password have not yet been assigned. Refreshing the page will show your FTP username and password. Your Temporary username and password may be given to anyone who needs to access your files. FTP does not encrypt usernames or passwords which makes hacking your FTP site relatively easy, so be careful with the files you choose to upload.
You may view and download your files using the link provided in the Temporary FTP Manager (ftp://TEMP_USER_NAME@ftp.et.byu.edu). This link may be given to anyone you need to share your files with. Use the password provided to login to your FTP site.
