Here we talk about Microsoft's Skype for Business Server 2015, Lync Server 2013, Unified Communications, Voice over IP and related technologies like Exchange Server. The Skype4B Insider is a blog about the technology we use to communicate in business today. What’s your File Transfer story? Did you run into a strange problem, or need to change its default setup? Please comment or email.
I have a special review in the works…a popular third-party app got an upgrade, and I get to test it out! Because when they don’t, it doesn’t matter if it’s 50 users or one…you’ll hear about it! Mostly to make sure they function correctly for all users. In most deployments, file transfer is “just another part of the process.” Given the pieces involved though, file transfers do merit a little extra thought during setup. File Transfers Take Some Consideration, But Carry High Value to Users You’re supposed to “select this option if you’re legally required to preserve electronically stored information.”Ĭonfigure Settings for Individual Users – Office 365 SupportĪ more detailed explanation for this setting is at: Demystifying a User Compliance setting in Skype for Business Online – Curtis J. In the Skype for Business Admin Center, under Users, you’ll find the option for turning off non-archived features. This option is controlled at the user level. (Shared OneNote pages and PowerPoint annotations are also non-archived features.) Thus the data you would send via file transfer doesn’t get recorded…which can jeopardize compliance. In Skype for Business Online, file transfers within Instant Messaging are considered a “non-archived feature.” That means the feature isn’t captured when you have an In-Place Hold set up in Exchange. When you have to maintain a regulatory compliance standard.
Surprisingly, there IS a situation where you would want to turn File Transfer off, and leave it off. Office 365 URLs and IP Address Ranges When to Turn File Transfer Off: When Compliance Demands The default ports used by Skype for Business file transfers are: Standard configurations will open the ports necessary (but it’s always good to test!). Once file transfer is enabled and blocked file types are set, you’ll need to make sure the appropriate ports are open on the firewall.

exe files? That’s because they’re blocked by default! (Don’t try to ZIP it up either Skype will see into the ZIP and refuse to send.)

Here’s the full list of files Skype for Business (Server and Online) blocks: Skype for Business won’t let you send certain file types, due to malware risk. Predictably, you find this option under “IM and Presence” in Skype for Business Server. Going back to IM file transfers, the main option you have in the Control Panel is whether to block all files (essentially disabling file transfer) or block specific file types. If you want to turn it off, run the cmdlet with the “-EnableFileTransfer $False” parameter.
I like the Control Panel myself.įile transfer in Skype Meetings is enabled by default, as part of the Conferencing Policy with the Set-CsConferencingPolicy cmdlet. Once enabled, you can customize file transfer options through PowerShell, or through the Control Panel. What’s the fastest way to enable Skype for Business file transfer is…use a PowerShell cmdlet! Specifically, this one: Set-CsFileTransferFilterConfiguration – TechNet But in case yours is turned off and you want it on, here’s how. However, you can also share files in a Skype Meeting.įile Transfer is enabled by default. The most common file transfer method is through Instant Messaging (or “P2P File Transfer”). As the Skype admin, you control whether users can or cannot send files to one another, and through which tools. Let’s take a dive into what goes into file transfer, shall we? It doesn’t need much configuration…but like air, you notice when it’s not there! Where Can You Transfer Files in Skype for Business?įile Transfer is a basic part of Skype for Business, both Server and Online. Comments on and Office 365′ Feedback Forums echo its importance among my fellow Skype4B users. I consider the ability to send/receive files a fundamental function…and I’m certainly not the only one. (I’ll cover this in its own post once we’ve fully diagnosed and fixed the problem.)īoth these items led me on a stroll through the technology behind file transfer in Skype for Business. Then, just last week, a co-worker asked me about a thorny issue they’ve had with file transfers intermittently failing. Skype for Business on Mac finally got file transfer capability in April.
