Adding or modifying objects in SAT's sendmail.aspx file

THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

  • EFT Server Enterprise versions 6.0-6.2
  • Secure Ad Hoc Transfer module versions 1.7-2.2

DISCUSSION

Most of the text boxes and buttons in the Secure Ad Hoc Transfer (SAT) sendmail form are pre-populated with blank text or default values; however, you can add or modify some object properties in the sendmail.aspx file. The properties that can be changed when the SAT page is loaded include From, To, CC, BCC, Subject, Body, Send me a copy, and Allow upload. After you install the SAT module, the sendmail.aspx file is installed in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\EFTAdhoc.

The instructions below are "tweaks" not product features. There are no guarantees that it will work for your system, and the ability to add these tweaks could be removed from future versions. If you reinstall, upgrade, or repair the SAT module, these changes may need to be reapplied. If you save a copy of the modified sendmail.aspx file and attempt to use it on your upgraded version, it may not work due to changes in the new version.

When editing sendmail.aspx, you can introduce errors that cause SAT to no longer function. Before you modify the sendmail.aspx file, make a copy of it in case you need to go back to the original. If you "break" your sendmail.aspx file and did not make a copy of it before tweaking it, the only resolution is to reinstall the SAT module. No support or warranty is provided for these tweaks.

To add or modify text or tool tips on the sendmail.aspx page

  1. In C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\EFTAdhoc, right-click sendmail.aspx, then paste the copy in the same folder. This will create a file called Copy of sendmail.aspx. Save this unedited copy in case the changes that you make to sendmail.aspx do not provide the desired results.
  2. Make the desired changes per the instructions below:
