Send2Email

A simple application to send files of specified filetypes in the Pictures folder to a specified email address.

Configuration

You will need to edit the cfg.json file with the necessary data and place it in C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\Send2Email for each user that will be using the application.

SMTP_Host

• You'll need to connect to an SMTP Server host to send email.
• Default: smtp.google.com

SMTP_Port

• You'll need to connect to an SMTP Server port that is accepting traffic.
• The most common port for SMTP is 587, but if you're connecting to an older SMTP server it may be port 25, and if you're connecting to an SMTPS server that uses SSL it might be set to 465.
• Default: 587

SMTP_User

• This is the email address that you'll be logging into to send emails from.
• Default: N/A

SMTP_Pass

• This is the password for the SMTP_User that you'll be logging into to send emails from.
• This is also the password you'll use when you choose Edit > Config from the file menu to access a GUI editor for the cfg.json file.
• If the Password is empty, it will open the Config menu automatically as a first time setup. The password is encrypted when saved to the config file.
• Default: Empty String

Mail_From

• This is what will show in the "From" section of the email. This has only been tested with the same data as SMTP_User.
• Default: Same as SMTP_User

Mail_Subject

• This is what will show in the Subject line of the email.
• Default: "Mail Subject Text"

Mail_Body

• This is what will show in the Body line of the email.
• Default: "Mail Body Text"

Mail_Delivery

• This is the message that will pop up on screen once you have send the email.
• The end of this message will append a blank space and the {destination_email}
• You will not need to add a space or the destination email variable to your string.
• Default: "Mail Delivery Text"

File_Extensions

• This is what determines what types of files to send in the email.
• Comma separated list
• You do not need to include a period before the filetype
• Default: "jpg, jpeg, png, gif, bmp, tif, pdf"

Key_Public

• This is your public key for encrypting the password when saving the config file.
• Update this to an 8 character string using letters and numbers but not symbols.
• You should also update the private_key variable in Program.cs to an 8 character string using letters and numbers but not symbols.

The final file should look something like this.

{
  "SMTP_Host": "smtp.gmail.com",
  "SMTP_Port": 587,
