Emailing Large Files...

[Anomaly1964]

Any programs for sending 3-4GB attachments?

Thanks!

none that i know of, and I probably would not trust email to send files that big at any rate.
probably best to host it somewhere and send an email link to it.

*correction* i do recall hearing about Yousendit that is suppose to do that, but I have not personally used it

There are services which provide for this. These were, as I recall, advertised, on the radio during the Leo Laporte talk show. Unfortunately dont recall the names of the services, but you could find out by getting on Leo's blog.

Cant you FTP?

You might try some of these. Don't know their specific size limits:
SendThisFile
File Dropper
FileFactory
Badongo
MediaFire
fileQube
GigaSize
justBeamIt
MailBigFile
Pando
PipeBytes
YouSendIt

YouSendit's Pro and Pro Plus ($10 and $100 a month) plans both have a max file size of 2 GB. Couldn't you use a Mediafire ($9 a month) account with 4 GB max file size, and just include the download link in your email?

Get an UbuntuOne account. You get 5gb storage free. You can then upload the file, and give a link to it. There /may/ be a file size limit, but I couldn't find one. It's free to try...

You can also use WinRAR or 7zip to split the file into pieces. The benefit is that it's easier to resume if uploading stalls. I remember trying to upload a 500mb file to FTP and the thing died near the end. It was a total loss and the entire 500mb had to be uploaded a second time. This was back when uploading that much took hours.

i just adjusted my qmail server to do that size no problem. just don't use outlook/exchange it will have a fit with email attachments in that size.

email them a link to a site to host the file. Email was never intended to do attachments in the first place, it was just a hack that someone figured out how to send attachments.

Exchange can handle the attachment just fine once you adjust the limits there too, however I would bet that the remote end won't accept them so it's a moot point anyway.

Email isn't for file transfers, don't use it that way.

Dropbox can do the same.

You could also just burn the files to a DVD and mail them.

Or make yourself a torrent file.
