Large file transfer

[risktaker]

Sorry,

It's like mokwit is saying. The folder needs to be compressed. Are you using WinXp? On the system I'm on now, there is a compression tool when using the right mouse button. Right-click the folder, click 'send to' and see if you can find it. It doesn't really appear to change the actual size of the file but it modifies it so that the system recognizes it as a 'zipped' file.

Ummmm... okay. I'll give that a try too. I just wonder why I would have to do that... it's already in a folder, right? If I create a new folder, and then dump the contents into the new folder... but maybe this 'Shared folder' has some charatceristics that are specific to the file-sharing software that created it? So you are saying that maybe I will be able to select everything in the folder if it is a new folder and not this 'Shared' folder? Hmmm...

Put what you want to send into a new folder and then zip that folder so that you have something that is recognised by Yousendit as 1 file - a folder is not.

Ok, got it, thanks guys

risk, I am on WIN2K but I have WinZip, so I'll figure it out using that.
