You can find the Attachment_Redirector_Setup.exe in your CrushFTP WebInterface folder. You can provide a link to your users to download it from your server. For example:
{{{
https://www.crushftp.com/WebInterface/Attachment_Redirector_Setup.exe
}}}
[attachmentRedirector/install.png]
When the installer is run, it asks for one parameter. It needs the server address for your server. That is the only piece of data the user must enter.

The plugin will automatically install for Outlook 2007, and above. However, Outlook 2007 is experimental as we had serious development issues in working with it. Newer versions of Outlook are fully supported.
When the plugin runs in outlook it will download its settings from your server so it knows how to operate. You need to configure these server settings ahead of time. In your WebInterface folder is a file called "AttachmentRedirectorSettings.xml". Example:
{{{
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

This file needs to be adjusted with Notepad or other plain text editor to set the URL for your server, username and password. The same account is shared by all users to transfer files to your server. However the files uploaded are immediately moved into a temporary holding location for the download link that is inserted in the email.
The example XML has the user/pass set to be "share" and "share". You are free to change this, but this is not a super secret user. You will restrict options in your user to keep it from being abused.
Make the user we will be using for this share operation, but do not give them a home folder. Instead designate a location where you plan for the data to go, and we will configure that in just a minute.
At line 99 changed one line
Now we configure a "Connect" event in the events section to use a HomeDirectory plugin configuration making this user have a unique home directory at every login.
Now add the button to the user's account, or to the default user so everyone gets the new tool.
At line 101 changed one line
Refer to the screenshot. Notice all the items circled in red. All of these need to be set, don't miss one.

That should be it. Set your own folder location in the plugin config as you won't have the example location we showed.
Its also recommended to setup a [folder monitor] clearing out this home directory location of old items that are say 1 day old. That way if someone aborts a transfer part way through, those dead files will be self cleaned up within a day.
That should be it. Files shared via the AttachmentRedirector are like normal shares the user creates. They can manage them through the normal Manage Shares button in their WebInterface.
