	When the file has been uploaded, the server will ask you some questions about the file OPTIONAL: Description is useful if there are several files waiting to be delivered OPTIONAL: Use Captcha will make it so the recipient will have to read letters and numbers from a picture and enter them in order to retrieve the file This may cause some inconvenience to your recipient, but is a security measure against hacking scripts and other exploits OPTIONAL: Send me an email - select this to receive a copy of the mail sent to the recipient This option provides proof that mail was successfully sent from the server Email Subject: the subject for the email notification the recipient will get Email Message: the body of the email notification the recipient will get OPTIONAL: Password protect will require the user to enter a password to download the file This provides an additional layer of security to Use Captcha, but instead of keeping out scripts and programs, it keeps out humans OPTIONAL: Send password in e-mail will send the password you set in the notification email. This may not be appropriate, for example when sending to an email address that more than one person may be checking If you wish to set a password, but not send it in the email, then set the password and phone the recipient to tell him what it is When you have filled in all the details, click the Complete Upload button
