Temporary FTP space

[craiga1971]

I need to send a 2.5gb file to someone. The file can't be split or zipped.

Many of the free services are limited to 2GB and the 5GB ones appear to be pretty unreliable, as I keep getting timeouts.

Does anyone have an FTP site that I could use to upload/download the fiile, please?

Only need the space for half a day or so.

Many thanks in advance

Craig

Use dropbox.com.

Use https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTEyMzYwOTk5 link and me and you will both get extra space.

I've already got DropBox - Can I get another 1GB somehow?

My DropBox had 3.25GB on it because of referrals. You could upgrade for one month. Can get 50GB for $9.99.

Sanj is right - you'll get 500mb each time you refer someone to DB.

Right, now I understand. Thanks.

My referral link is:

https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTQwNjI4MTU5

Would 3 people be willing to trail Dropbox via this link, please?

If you are, please reply to this thread - Only need 3 as that will get my storage up from 2GB to 2.75GB.

Thanks

If you and he both have hosting accounts, even if they're with different providers, you can use the command prompt to transfer that whole 5GB in a couple of minutes.

Huh... really... I never heard of that. Command prompt "copy" command?

For files that big I don't even use windows FTP. Use FileZilla or firefox (download only). But I generally use the hosting FTP site.

So, uh... can you tell me how to do that via windows command prompt?

Not Windoze/DOS command prompt, but the SSH one. FTP is comparatively pathetic at big file transfers. And, of course, highly insecure (unless you're using FTPS).
