There are lot's of ways to get a file from one place to another, emailing is the first that many think of. (For larger files I'll usually just upload to a directory on the website and then email a link...) The problem with email is multiple.... 1)viruses exploit email as a delivery vehicle and so attachments are looked at with rightful suspicion.... and 2) the size of emails is usually capped SOMEWHERE along the way, my isp, your isp, etc.... Usually that cap is around 5-10MB There are other ways to get a big file from point a to point b - (don't underestimate the bandwidth of the postal service and dvd-r's....) One online alternative though is yousendit.com - you upload a file, tell who you want it sent to and it appears that they send a link via email so the recipient can download.
