FTP is a mess nowadays, what with passive/active, firewalls and such. FTP
is not success-oriented.

My friend and I like to swap digital pictures we take.  We have each
configured our email MTAs to allow 100MB files as attachments.

Works well.

eMail is only a "horrible way" to transmit files if the MTAs are
configured to disallow large files.

When the MTAs are configured to allow large file, eMail works very nicely
for transmitting files.
