HNTB Transfer Instructions

HNTB Transfer provides a secure medium for users to temporarily share files with clients, partners, and other outside agencies.  The system allows HNTB employees to enroll a recipient and share files in the same session. Then, the recipient simply changes his or her initial password the first time a file is sent to them, and the download will start.

HNTB Transfer is user friendly because it uses wizards to guide you through the upload process and provides several options for packaging, including creating a zip file of the document on-the-fly.

IMPORTANT: All transferred files remain on the system for 15 days and then they are purged.

Recipient Notes

Important notes regarding recipients and the differences between being an HNTB employee vs. a guest.

HNTB Employees

For external recipients use their full e-mail address. (Example: Client@domain.com)
