# Secure File Transfer

Secure File Transfer allows Members the ability to integrate their Secure File Storage solutions to TSANet Connect.   Any attachments sent are then delivered directly and are not stored on the TSANet Connect Platform.   The TSANet Connect platform has Member Specific configurations for Method, Authentication and file location.  When a Member adds an attachment, it is then routed to the target Members system.  The image below shows the high-level design.

* When the user wants to send an attachment the receivers attachment configuration is retrieved
* The file is then posted using the receiving Members configuration for authentication and path location
* This is similar to how file uploads are configured on a member's web portal

This feature is enabled in collaboration with the Members IT Team during the onboarding process for Connectors.    For API details see [Secure File Attachment API](/connect/api-reference/case-attachments.md)
