Which is the best way to transfer large files and avoiding the 10Mb email limit?
Have used zip-it to condense, but still won't go through.
Would be useful if it could cope with folders as then I don't have the problem of links failing.
cheers

zip programs such as winzip and winrar allow you to create archives that are split into multiple parts at a certain size. You can then simply send each part as a separate emailChris Elvin0

FTP is very efficient. You need to know the address of the recipient's server or a host server from which they can retrieve the files.FTP or not FTP?
Mostly, these days, people use online services such as MediaFire. These don't usually allow upload by FTP unless you have a 'premium' account.

To transfer the file to a single location, FTP is probably the way to go. Otherwise it might be quicker to use bittorrents.0
