What’s the best method of sending a large file from one computer to another via the Internet?
Well if it’s over 5 megabytes, generally sending it via email is a big no-no, as many corporate email systems that will reject large attachments.
Yousendit.com is a good alternative, allowing you to send files up to 100 megabytes in size for free…and even larger files for a monthly fee.
More recently, Google documents has enabled large file uploading and sharing of files of up to 1 gigabyte free of charge.
The advantage of using a service like this is that the file recipient, instead of having their inbox jammed up with a large file, will simply receive a link to download the file via their web browser.
