Sending vast files

I'm transfering a file that is nearly 2 gigs from my old computer to my new, but i don't have an external harddrive or a FTP server that is big enough..

Is there any free services that allows me to send the file and store it on a public server? And of course, i have to be able to download the file, so no 100 MB free download trials....

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Peter

grab one computer, drive it to the other one . . .

or just use AIM and send the file. it will take about 1290847123491234 hours, but it will work

Have someone put the hard drive on a bicycle and send it toward you. It's sure to have many adventures along the way.

I will have to use an internet service, thats why I am asking for one.

1. I don't have a car and I am under 18 so i cant drive whatsoever
2. The PC im transfering to can't be turned off for a second, since it is a radio PC which runs all the time, making it impossible to insert the other harddrive without encountering problems..
3. I have bad time, so 1290847123491234 hours just won't do..

Thanks to those who have helped so far!

Thanks in advance!

I think the best way would be to transfer the file over AIM, MSN, or something with a similar function.

Set up your own FTP server at the destination PC?

Sure there must be enough freeware tools for that purpose available..

Porn.

Probably.

As mentioned, just FTP it.

You might want to setup remote desktop access incase the file transfer fails and you are not near the sending pc to restart the transfer.

It is the opposite way, mr Smith.. I'm uploading to the radio station im working in..
Audio files, samples, jingles etc. i've done at home.

Does anyone know of any software that works?

Thanks

yousendit.com

You'll have to split the files up though, cause its only 1gb per file, but if youve have crappy upload speed forget it...

Except for the fact he didn't want to restart his PC.

One of these tools should do the job perfectly:

Note: To do this you need to make sure you have a cross over cable and have enabled direct connect.

If you dont want to do it over the internet because it'll take too long, then use Winrar and break it up into 700 mb pieces and burn em to cds. Rewritable cds maybe.
