Secure File Transfer - Request an Employee License

The following tutorial will take you through the process of requesting a Secure File Transfer (SFT) employee license, which will allow you to send secure files to both internal and external recipients.

Please note:

  • Only current CU Boulder faculty members, staff members and student employees are eligible to request an SFT employee license.
  • SFT licenses expire each year on June 30; new licenses can be requested starting July 1.

Once you've been assigned an SFT license, you can log in at https://securefiletransfer.colorado.edu (coming soon). See our Secure File Transfer - Log In tutorial for step-by-step instructions.
