I have for some time wanted to be able to send large files several
gigabytes in size over the Internet but due to the various constraints
on the system and services provided by ISP's, I could not. Email
attachments had to be very small, and other programs like Pondo, Google
Talk, etc, though offering larger file transfers, were still restricted
in size. --- and incredibly slow. So, I began studying about servers,
and discovered personal servers. It turns out that Windows XP has a
built in Server that when activated works reasonably well, but for best
performance an computer security, a separate server software is in
order. I chose a free program called FileZilla.

I searched for it on the 'Net, downloaded and installed it. Now, if I
have some big humongous file to share with you, I send you an IP
Address, User ID, Passcode, and you can log in on my machine and
download it to your PC.
Give it a try.

If you give it a go and have any questions, just ask. I'm no IT, but I
will try to answer as best I can.

Enjoy,
