    You could compress them or upload them to a file sharing site and then just email the link to the recipient.

    I wouldnt recommend that....not only will you crash the server on your side, but on the other side too...

    Google "You Send It" - send up to 100MB as a free user.

    open a dropbox account and upload the file into the public folder then send an email with the public link of the file to the person, file size is upto 2GB as that is the size of a free account, (you can also use live skydrive (hotmail) for any file upto 50MB).

    I personally wouldnt use any old free file sharing site as you have no idea on the integraty of the data, how long it would be stored and who has access to it.

    Of course sending all this highly confidential material through the method you suggest is MUCH safer than any other :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
