my brother, who’s 5 hours away, wants to send me something thats over a GB. whats a good site he can upload it to, for me to download? ive already thought about torrents, but it’d be too hard for him to figure it all out. thanks ---

> [@Nikuk](#): > > DVD & mail? > > ftp? > > gmail virtu-drive? mailing would prolly be the easiest way, but it will take a few days. i doubt he’d be able to figure out ftp’ing. and i dont have gmail nor does he. and it’s just some files that i had on his computer i want ---

rapidshare and filefront are free I think. there was also another site where you upload the file and only X amount of people can download it for a certin amount of time before it’s automatically deleted. not sure on size limits but you could always RAR it into a multi part file ---

maybe i can try this via ftp. ive never sent files through ftp through an ip address. ive done through a site. i downloaded SmartFTP, found it was a popular one. how would we go about connecting to each other? im guessing i would go to File =\> New Remote Browser. then for the host, do i type in his IP address? and he would do the same steps, and type in mine? then connect anonymously right? would that get us connected? ---

actually… can you do it thru a remote session? so he’d log onto your PC via windows via the internet and d/l it from you in real time? ---
