Articulate has created this really cool sharing tool for just that purpose. http://tempshare.articulate.com. Zip your output and point the form on that site at your file. Fast and easy
You simply drag your project to Tempshare and it’s saved to a web server. Tempshare generates a non-guessable URL to your project that you can then access from your iPad. Content is hidden from search engine indexing so it stays private while you test.
So once your project uploads it will give you a URL to use for up to 10 days. Past that into a post here on the forums or use to hyperlink and people will be able to see the content and comment.
There are many security settings associated with your browser. Some browsers will issue a warning when a web page is attempting to do something outside the scope of these security settings, and some will simply not allow a page to process a command. Either way, sometimes using a different browser will help workaround the issue.
I'm guessing, but would assume you are using Internet Explorer. Can you please confirm your browser and version.
It's OK that this browser isn't supported by your IT group, however, it should allow you to upload to the Articulate Tempshare without trying to workaround the IE browser security.
We acknowledge there might be some issues with using tempshare inside of Internet Explorer. We apologize for any inconvenience. Until this issue is resolved, please use another browser.
Note: Because there's no visual feedback after selecting the 'Upload This File' button, it appears Internet Explorer doesn't work when in fact it does. Large files just take longer to load before the publishing feedback appears and the URL is posted back.
I've tried uploading using three browsers: IE7, FireFox, and Chrome. It did not work with any of the browsers. I am not working on a corporate computer, nor am I behind a firewall. The error message I receive is "could not upload this file."
If anyone has any suggestions, I would very much welcome them.

Hey, Judith -
Articulate has created this really cool sharing tool for just that purpose. http://tempshare.articulate.com. Zip your output and point the form on that site at your file. Fast and easy
Thanks, Steve, but I don't know which of the files to include:
meta.xml
story.html
story.swf
story_html5.html
story_unsupported.html
And what about the Story_content folder that contains lots of swf, js, jpg, and html files?
Sorry to be so ignorant - haven't done this before.

Hi, Judith -
Hit the Zip button once your publish is finished
OK, thanks - didn't notice that before.
Thanks for linking this Steve, I think this is going to help a fella in the other forum who is having problems linking his file for critique.
OK, I did that, but it didn't look like anything was happening.
It didn't show progress for uploading the file, nor did it tell me when the upload was finished.
And, another dumb question -- if it did upload, where would I be able to see it ?
Where could I read people's comments, if any?
Thanks so much,
Judith
Per the about this project description:
You simply drag your project to Tempshare and it’s saved to a web server. Tempshare generates a non-guessable URL to your project that you can then access from your iPad. Content is hidden from search engine indexing so it stays private while you test.

Well, I guess the project didn't upload then. Didn't get any kind of response from Tempshare.
Maybe I'll try again later.
Thanks,
Judith
OK, here's what's happening:
I click Upload This File and navigate to my Zip file.
When I select the file and click Open, I get a status bar message saying Error on Page.
This is the company network, so maybe it is blocking my upload?

Yes, IE8
Judith,
Is it an option to try a different browser like Firefox?
I know that some of my co-workers use it, but it's not supported by IT.

OK - I'll search for a download and install it.
Hello Judith,
Did you download and try?
i had the same pb and did, with mozilla
I could go a step further, the file ..% uploading, ..but finally the message went to
'sorry we cannot load this file'...

It absolutely would NOT work with IE 8, but works perfectly with Firefox 18.
