Need to Transfer Large Files?
As you may know, the UO's main email servers limit the size of files that
can be attached to email messages to 5MB. This policy ensures that email performance
will remain stable for campus network users.
So what can you do if you want to send a file larger than 5 MB? Here are
some suggestions:
- Use a free file-drop service such as YouSendIt
( http://www.yousendit.com/ ) or YouShareIt
( http://www.youshareit.com/ ) YouSendIt allows you to send files up to
1GB in size, and YouShareIt has a limit of 50MB
- Make the file available for download from a web server
- Burn the data to a CD and ship the CD
- Print and fax the file
- If you need to send a really large scientific dataset, try using the
LoCI project.
