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,
