Emailing Large Files
I found two free services that come in handy when you want to transfer files that are bigger than your email server’s limit. YouSendIt and DropLoad make it really easy to upload a large file (up to 1 Gig) to their servers via a simple webpage, so there’s no need to use an FTP client. After the file is uploaded, an email is sent to the “recipients” with instructions to download, which must be done within 7 days.
This is a great service for people who have trouble emailing large attachments. Sure, you could always setup an FTP server and grant the person access, but for one-time deals or non-technical folks, these sites provide a simple and elegant solution.

Awesome, I figured something like these had to exist (I knew about the not-free WhaleMail), glad you pointed them out.
