One of the great advantages of ZendTo is that you don't need to do
anything to it, it self-manages. My install of it here
(<a href="http://dropoff.soton.ac.uk" target="_blank">dropoff.soton.ac.uk</a>) gets about 800GB per month uploaded to it, and
requires absolute zero maintenance effort.<span class=""><br>

Most people find that once it's all setup and running (not hard), it

Sorry, I don't have the energy to do out-of-office-hours support

<div>I believe there are two mechanisms that can be
used by Zendto to delete uploaded files. The one I
think you are referring to is where a user manually
deletes a dropoff. In my experience, this is very
rarely used by my users. The other mechanism is a
system-wide auto delete, where the admin can set a
lifetime for all dropoffs after which the system
deletes them. I believe the default is 2 weeks, but
you can set it to whatever you want in the config
file. As far as I know, there is no mechanism built
into Zendto to auto-delete right after a dropoff is
downloaded, although a little php code could solve
that if you need it.</div>
<div>I’ve been using Zendto for a couple of years now,
and my users love it. No more asking IT to set up
an ftp account for a one-off file transfer. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this helps,</div>
