Your reply is to a post that is almost 3 years old. I suspect that a solution has been found by now.

I second the motion.
by Zynchnod - 11/19/04 2:35 AM In reply to: sending large files by crj900The Fedex guy has my vote. Reason: If he's on a T1 connection, and you are on a cable connection, and neither of you can figure out how to send a file to one another, then most likely by the time you find a program that will send the file for you (like ftp server, torrent, irc, messenger, whatever...), learn how to use it, and install it, and configure it, and figure what an ip address is or even how to get it, and figure out if your firewall is blocking the port you need in your messenger that you want to use, or if you need to use PASV mode in your ftp server.... or in your client...... Trust the man. Fedex it. Purolate if Canadian. That would be the quickest and easiest method.

by enriquew - 11/19/04 2:40 AM In reply to: sending large files by crj900The most convenient way of sending huge files is the free service YouSendIt www.yousendit.com
You do not need to register, share passwords, nor install any software; just enter your recipient's email address, select the file to send (up to 1 GB), and send it! You can optionally add your email address and a message to the recipient. Multiple recipients are accepted. YouSendIt will email your recipient a link to the file stored on their server, and the file will be deleted after seven days.
It can't be easier, and it's free.
YouSendIt has an enterprise version with additional, payable features.

by neveryonnzz - 11/19/04 4:19 AM In reply to: sending large files by crj900one of the smoothest and fastest programs i use for file transfers of any size is http://www.aim.com.
Both parties install the programs and add each other to their lists. Open a message box and select the icon for photos, and a Direct Connect box will be displayed. Once a direct connection has been established, simply drag the file icon into the typing window and press send.
My prefered option is use of my yahoo space, which costs me 9.95 a month for 2000Mb of space and supports both ftp by setting up an email for the desired user or can be deep linked to a simple web page created with the builtin PageBuilder program by typing in the file name on a new page and then linking it to the file by selectng the text and clicking link, choosing my file and clicking OK then saving the page ... just send them the page and the link will begin the download
as for an ftp client, i suggest total commander http://www.ghisler.com
again my first choice would be to attempt AIM

by rdinning - 11/19/04 5:21 AM In reply to: sending large files by crj900I have a splitter program called GSplit 1.8 that will break a file into manageable chunks for email. It will also make the first chunk an exe so that when all the pieces have been received and stored in a single directory you just execute the first piece and it recreates the original file.

by stevengmarsden - 11/19/04 5:29 AM In reply to: sending large files by crj900hi,
i work in a design office and files sizes are often quite huge. some are as big as two or three gig, what i do is use a program called chop, this program chops up the file into sizes that you define i.e. 100 meg and sends them one at a time untill all the files have been sent, at the other end the files are recombined to its original form. the program must be on the recipients pc in order for this to happen. i hope this is of some use. kind regards steve

If I've got a file that large to send, there are two ways of doing it, and I've used both. One is to compress the files using WinZip or a similar data file compression utility, the other is to convert it to a pdf format, both systems utilise data compression so it wouldn't be impossible to expect a compressed file of between a quarter and a third of the original!
The other ways that have been suggested are good, but not always available - especially if you do not live on the North American Continent.
Another idea that bears consideration is set up a small private web site, and just circulate the URL to the people you want to send material too. Then, if they have DAP - the address is www.speedbit.com - they can run a fast download, even on broadband.

Re: sending large files
by rupendra_dhillon - 11/19/04 7:01 AM In reply to: sending large files by crj900you can split the file into smaller/managable sized files using a splitting utility... WinRAR would do.
The only downside of this technique is that it will take a lot of e-mailing...
Another way which I have not tried myself but will suggest (coz it would be good if it works out) is that you can try to send the file using MSN Messenger. I have heard that it allows streaming of very vey large files...
Best of luck

by Roach - 11/19/04 7:11 AM In reply to: sending large files by crj900I have used e-mail for these types of situations before. Google mail lets you store a gig or mmore in your account. You cannot actually send the file, its too big. So create an account and just save it as a draft attachment. then send your friend the e-mail address and password, they can then access the account and download the file. I do not know how fast this is, a different e-mail provider may be faster. I have used this succesfully with my UMASSD.edu account. Good Luck.

by gtnshape - 11/19/04 7:19 AM In reply to: sending large files by crj900you could setup FTP and not have to deal with any online servers, and it eliminates the middle man. Altough cables upload speeds are not all that good, its free and you wont have to rely on anyone to transfer it for you.
or you could burn a disk and send it to your friend in a disk mailer.
Use an IM client
by LANjackal - 11/19/04 2:08 PM In reply to: sending large files by crj900Usually I just send the file via AIM or Windows Messenger.
