How to send a big file to your friend

If you need to send a file to your friend, you will usually attach it with your e-mail. However, the maximum size for an attached file is only 10 MB for most e-mail service.

There is a way you can send a file longer than 10 MB to your friend. What you do is to upload your file to a server such as Rapidshare.com free of charge.

First go to http://rapidshare.com.
Then click UPLOAD. Browse to where your file is and the uploading will begin. It will take 10 to 20 minutes to upload your large file but the limit is 100MB. For files bigger than this, split them and upload the files separately. When a file is uploaded successfully, a URL of the file will be generated by Rapidshare. Send this URL to your friend so that he can download it from Rapidshare.
