subject: Re: sending big files?

From: Gary Britt 

I use a GoDaddy "onlinefilefolder" for some offsite storage.  It
has a feature where you can upload a file and cause an email with a link to
be sent to somebody.  When they get the email they just have to click on
the link in the email to get to the file and begin a download.  1 GB of
storage is about $10.00 per year.
