Free hosting site that will accept 600MB uploads?

[ColKurtz]

Wasn't sure where to post this...

I'd like to send an ISO to a customer, but obviously my mail system won't allow an attachment of that size. The only company FTP site that allows files that size is internal only.

YouSendIt.com used to allow free uploads of that size, but have trimmed it back to 100Mb.

Anyone know of any public sites that accept uploads of this size, even if only for a day or two?

TIA.

hmmmm I'll go take a look around for you. Sad to see yousendit lower their file limit!

Might want to look at this free hosting

edit: that's not the one I was lookink for. Somebody here was doing free hosting for AT members. If I can find it will post back.

You can also use a program like WinRAR or WinZip (you don't necessarily need to recompress it) to chop it up into smaller pieces if the issue is just that you can't send 600MB at once.

Can the customer set up an FTP server on their end that you can upload to? It seems kind of silly for you to upload it somewhere just so they can download it one time.

exactly. use winrar to make smaller pieces that are under what the company allows for external ftp.

if it is legal you can put it on my ftp i have at the condo, i have a 1Mb/s up connection, just let me know and i will give you access to a folder on the machine, then you can delete it once you are done.

The better question may be, why is this posted in General Hardware?

That looks perfect! I haven't tried it yet but will soon.

Really? I used to use programs (hjsplit was one) to chop up large files, but that would require that the other party have the same program. Winzip is pretty universal, so if there's a way to do it with wiinzip I'd love to know. I googled a bit but didn't see how to do this.

Sadly, no. It's a small shop. I could setup one on my home network but I was hoping there was an easy answer. Hopefully filefront will work.

I didn't see a "file hosting" forum. General Hardware seems to be kind of the default forum for issues that don't fall nicely into the other categories. None of the other forums seem any more relevant to this question. Where would you put it?

just use something like rapidshare.com, they allow split archives.

I figured out how to do it with Winrar. Thanks for the tip matthias.
