Sending large files

(1/3) > >>

Pilchard123:
So I have a large (~75 MB) file to send to a PC that I have physical access to, but not while I'm at the PC at which I am typing this. I cannot transfer the file on a flash drive because of security policy on the receiving computer. I cannot use Google Drive because of the same security policy. I cannot send it by email as one file because it's too large.

My current method of doing this sort of thing is to archive the file and then split the archive into volumes of ~5 MB (using WinRAR/7-Zip/whatever) and email those separately. Once that's done, I reassemble the archive at the other end. Does anyone have any better ideas?

Method of Madness:
What email only allows 5MB attachments?

Pilchard123:
I have a slow connection that times out on much more than that.

Can you download from a web site?  In which case, upload it to Dropbox or some such (which will be slow, but should just keep going), and then download it from there using the web interface (as presumably you can install the synchronisation software).

Pilchard123:
That might be possible, but it's a computer at work that I'm trying to send these to. I uploaded it to Google Drive okay from home, but was caught by the web filter when I tired to download it because of Drive being "Personal backup & NAS" or similar, so I imagine Dropbox would be the same.
