Silver Key Uploaders


	

	
			
Sending a Silver Key parcel as an email attachment is the simplest method, but
			there is a complication. Many mail servers block email attachments, especially
			executable attachments. Self-decrypting parcel is the most useful type of parcel,
			but sending it via e-mail is not always possible.


			
In order to solve this problem, Silver Key introduced three new right-click commands:
			Create and Upload to,
			Create EXE and Upload to,
			and Upload Parcel. The first two commands work exactly as corresponding
			Create Parcel and Create EXE Parcel. The only
			difference is that after encryption they transfer the just created parcel to the selected
			uploader program. The last command uploads an existing parcel.


			
Uploader is an external program that uploads a created parcel to an external server,
			and returns a download link, which can be inserted into an email. Silver Key includes three
			uploaders for most popular free Web storages -
			Dropbox,
			Google Drive,
			and OneDrive.

How does uploader work


			
Uploaders are completely independent programs and are not a part of Silver Key. Silver Key
			simply assumes that any program in its Uploaders subfolder is an uploader and adds its name
			into the right-click uploader list. When the user selects an uploader from the list, Silver Key
			runs it with the name of the just created parcel as an argument. Silver Key does not interact
			with the uploader; it is up to the uploader how to process the parcel (uploading it somewhere
			seems the most logical thing to do).

		    
		
Adding a custom uploader


			
As soon as you place  a program (.exe) or a batch file (.bat) into
			C:\Program Files\Silver Key\Uploaders, it will immediately appear in the right-click
			uploader list. For example, a batch file for FTP upload may look like


			

				rem Create a list of FTP commands

				echo binary >ftp.cmd

				echo put %1 >>ftp.cmd

				echo quit >>ftp.cmd

				

				rem Upload file

				ftp s:ftp.cmd ftp.myserver.com

				

				rem Cleanup

				del ftp.cmd
			


			
Save this batch script as My Server.bat and copy it to
			C:\Program Files\Silver Key\Uploaders.
			The right-click uploader menu now looks as
