E-mailing attachments larger than 2MB is not always an easy task.  Many email accounts, such as Gmail, MSN, Hotmail, or company e-mail servers do not allow e-mails larger than 2MB.  This restriction is due to preventing viruses or bogging up the e-mail server.

If you need to send lots of pictures or big files to clients or friends all the time, you should consider using an FTP site to send across your info.  This way, you can set up a specific website for you and your recipient in a professional manner.  Filezilla is a top free FTP website that offers a way to share files via a website.  It is compatible for Macs and PCs.

An alternative is to share your current website space for FTP storage.  This way, you can create a specific page off of an existing website.  You’ll probably want to consult with your network administrator on this.
