libya 115 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have an 85MB movie file that I want to send to someone over the internet. Email has a limit, so can I upload it to a site and leave it there for viewing anywhere? Any ideas advice gratefully received. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSixpack Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Have your friend install and configure an FTP server such as the free Filezilla and if necessary configure his router to open a port to his machine. Use an FTP client such as the free Filezilla client to access his server immediately after he/she tells you his/her current IP address. To find the IP address, your friend can access http://www.whatismyip.com/ among other sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 There are a number of sites providing online storage for free. You upload your file, send your friend the URL, your friend(s) download it. I've used http://www.box.net/ they have 1G free, should do the job just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davejonesbkk Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Can he not Win RAR it, or would it still be too big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKASA Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 If you and the other have messenger service, just drop it in the share folder and forget it. The folders will sync and it will tell ya when its done. You don't have to stay online and they don't it just works in the back ground when it can until its done. I have sent tons of stuff to my Mom and others as well as received. No hassle at all. Takes less time then this post did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
