FTP options

Post by ShowMaster »

I get requests for some older manuals I have on obsolete RC gear.
I'd like to send them via electronic means and not snail mail. Any good free options I and the recipient can both use?
I run w7.
I don't do enough file transfers to pay for a service to give away large files.
Thanks in advance.

Try box.com or dropbox.com.
They give you few GB for free, moreover , you don't bother with FTP and the recipient doesn't even need to achieve a login on them (box.com).

Yes I was able to view it on my IPod touch. I'll try my computer later.
Looks like it'll work.
