@Marci,
Thanks for the comments. We are glad that you found this tips useful.

@Techno,
In the list you’ve provided, except FTP, everything else is definitely a secure way to transfer big files. The focus of this article was primarily to show how to split big files, transfer the split files and combine the split files at the receiver end.

@VonSkippy,

I agree that sending large files via Email is not efficient.. Sometimes for some unavoidable reasons (some stupid corporate policies? or, digitally sign a huge document and send it? ) you may have to transfer large files over email.

Sending large files via Email is HUGELY inefficient. Use a free service like FileFactory or YouSendIT (or course compression and encryption is a good idea).
