YouSendIt.com: a simple, free solution for sending files that are too big to email
YouSendIt.com allows you to easily send large files to folks without email.
If ever you need to email someone a really big file -- something with lots of hi-res pictures, etc.- generally, anything that's bigger than 1MB -- you may have difficulties getting it through. Many email servers will not accept messages that large. But wait! All is not lost. Check out:
It's a simple, free service that lets you upload files and then emails the person (or people) that you want to receive the file. They get a link in the email that lets them download. It's free, no FTP hassling, no email limits. The files are only avaiable for a week, so it's not a long-term file distribution solution, but it is a quick and handy tool.
While process is reasonably secure, we don't recommend distributing your secrets this way, but then again, you shouldn't be emailing highly confidential information anyway, right?
