Re: computer techno geek help

may be best to just rent some web space and ftp the files up, but be careful if you do this, some hosting companies prohibit this (why I do not know). also if the documents are private this may not be the best solution. actually if that is the case an in person transfer might be best, or take a chance on the mail.

Dropbox is awesome for stuff like that. You have both private and shared folders. It's just a matter of creating a shared folder and emailing the link to someone. They'll have to make an account too, but once it's set up all you have to do is drag and drop whatever you want to share.

Hey Charles, sorry I didn't get back at you on the phone last night.

I'll sign up for the Drop Box deal as well and we can try that.

Remember your upload speed is going to be slower than your download speed. so almost 1 gig of data is going to be lenghty regardless of where you send it.

Try a couple of these sites to see the difference between your uplaod and download.

Ya go to Walgreen get a 2GB flash drive for $15, put your files on it and though it in the mail, USPS Priority will take max 3 days. ;)

Also if you use Windows you should be able to use the Remote Desktop Connection, which allows you to access/modify files on another computer.

3 days is a year in interwebs time.

We'll get those photos from there to here electronically!

Just depends on where he has to send them, if it's close it could be overnight. Plus the time he's wasted here trying to figure out what to do, the flash drive would already be half way to it's destination. ;)
