Beacon Hill, Inc. releases Sendit as Open Source

Nov. 23, 2009 - PRLog -- SendIt allows you to setup a system to email large files. It works by providing a form for the user to post their file and mail information. The system takes the file and stores it temporarily in Amazon's S3 Storage system and sends an email with a link to the file.

The application is downloadable and includes the full source code for inspection and customization. A pre-built runnable application is included in the download so the application can be tried without having to rebuild.

Those users interested in building SendIt should be familiar with Ant and Java.

To obtain SendIt visit http://www.beaconhill.com/opensource/sendit.html and select one of the download links.
