Transferring Large Files

This sounds great! In various published items I exhort people not to send large files via email, but most of my clients wouldn’t have time or patience to learn other methods. One button upload to a web page and one click download sounds like just the thing.

Transferring Large Files via Email: It’s a problem. You need to send a large file to a friend or colleague but it’s too large for email, you don’t have access to an FTP server, or the recipient isn’t sufficiently savvy about usernames and passwords or firewalls to log in to your server.

… for a low overhead solution, try YouSendIt. It’s a free Web service that’s about as simple as you could imagine. On the YouSendIt Web page, you fill in the recipient’s email address, click the Browse button to locate the file you want to send, optionally enter your email address and a message, and click the Send It button. The recipient then receives an email message containing a link that downloads the file.
