Avoid a 'download' problem with iDisk and media files
Authored by: windrag on Mar 11, '05 12:29:45AM
Personally I would recommend for files of this size you let the intended receipient (I assume you are doing a 1 to 1 transfer as opposed to offering publically) log into your local mac and collect the file - either via AppleShare or ftp. FTP is going to be the most effecient, but slightly more time consuming to setup. Although if this is a longterm thing it will be well worth it. I would recommend persuing this PureFTP tutorial: http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2005/03/04/ftp.html
Wow. This looks like something useful, but as I am not an IT professional, my mind kind of blanked out after about the 10th paragraph. I imagine this might be the case with my client as well. Thanks for the tip, though!
