How To Send Big Files Through Firewalls

 

Many times you find yourself unable to send a file to someone either since the file is too big and you cannot mail it, or your friend is behind a mean firewall. Now you can send heavy PowerPoint presentation to your colleagues or send that 700MB media file to your many friends with only one upload. Maileet uses the common mail servers to send and receive files. Since virtually every computer can send and receive emails Maileet can work behind any firewall and will not be blocked.

For European users FileCentral.se (http://www.filecentral.se) is fast (and it is free for everyone). Up to 2 GB files.

"Since virtually every computer can send and receive emails Maileet can work behind any firewall and will not be blocked."

But most eMailsystems have spamfiltering. Which far too often block also bonafide emails just because they contain those download links that the spamfilters don't like!
If you don't get the link, you can't download!
Better to ALWAYS request confirmation of download from your recipient.

BTW: http://www.yousendit.com/ is FREE...

Transfer It Online is a brand new solution that solves this problem as no other.

It has some unique features like bandwith throtteling, so you can keep using your internet connection while sending a big file. For the moment they support transfers up to 10GB!! Also their security implementation is the best there is available at the moment.

Fileparking was created to solve this problem. You can send up 100Mb with this service. Works through firewalls because it is totally web-based. If you can browse the web you can send those files.

And did I say that it has a very simple billing system? You can pay with a phone call or with an sms. Give it a try!
