Bulk File Transfer

[JonathanBelles]

Hey everyone,

I need help sending a very big file through email. I have a single file with 292 pictures in it. I have two problems. It is far too large to send through yahoo. And when I go to send it as a single file it makes me open it and send it picture by picture (which I obviously dont want to do). Is there any easy way to do it?

Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing you already tried zip or similar utility?


You can find free versions of zip or PKZip on the world wide internet.

[JonathanBelles]

yes, I compressed and zipped it.

Not sure if TAR is supported these days, but back in the old days using AIX at halliburton, one could tar a file or multiple files into a file or multiple files, and also compress them.

Google search finds this promising lead


MG-Split is a file split utility that can be used to split large files into smaller chunks, so they can be easily copied to floppy disks or sent by email. What distinguishes MG-Split from other file split utilities is the built-in ability to handle email messages. You can execute a split session that automatically sends an email for each generated chunk, or you can execute a merge session that automatically retrieves the email messages containing the chunks that must be merged. Another important feature is the ability to run in batch mode; you can easily set up a system that automatically executes a split session or a merge session without any user interaction.

It might work anyway. I don't think that page has been updated in six years.

If all else fails you can upload to photobucket and set the folder to private and set a password and then email the link and password. You can do mass uploads (maybe not 292 pictures at once).

Not the most time saving idea, but its an idea.

I was going to say about the same thing.
Why not upload them to Snapfish. You can load more than one at a time and do alot of photos and its free. My first album had 251 pics. Good luck!

or . . http://www.getdropbox.com/ -- Dropbox - Sync, Store and Share Files Online; Available for Windows, Mac and Linux


Nice thing about this is --- I install the program on my laptop at home. Upload files at work -- it syncs with the laptop and copies the files over to the laptop, so the files are already at home without have to download again. Or at home I can "drop" files into the Dropbox folder, the program syncs with the online "dropbox" and it is available online for d/l at work. .. . can set public and private folders too. . .
