Hi John,

There are two ways to resolve this.

The traditional answer is to use an FTP server. You can use a third party computer as a server, or yours, or the end recipient's computer. Configuring the settings and managing passwords is not difficult but can be a PITA if you're not comfortable with that sort of thing. Also note that some ISP's may block private FTP servers, as it violates their acceptable use policies.

The easier method is to use a peer-to-peer software app like limewire. Download the app, install it and designate a share directory where your .zip file will be located. Then tell your end user the filename. They will search for it with their copy of limewire. The peer-to-peer software will do the rest.

Yes, it is really that easy.

www.limewire.com ...There are versions available for Mac, Linux and Windows.

Happy Trails,
