Binfer is a great option to send large files directly from computer to computer, without uploading to a server. You can send hundreds of files of any size with a simple drag and drop. Binfer will manage the transfers with auto resumes, encryption, notifications etc. Check it out http//
A file hosting web site would be my choice. I have had to send large files myself back when i was a computer animator. I used WINRAR to split them with a password, then uploaded the resulting files to http//fileape.com/
I then simply sent the links to the recipient and they downloaded them using my fileape account so they could download them faster, though free downloading is posible but with limitations to number of downloads and speed.
This is probably too late for this time, but maybe someone else will find this usefullP
GoFileRoom.com is a very handy online file management solution. You have a master account and can setup bins for each client. They can only get to the files in their account.
Fedex.
How about a private bit torrent with small chunk size, each chunk will be checked and discarded and re-downloaded if not right ? Down your private VPN or whatever your normal comms line is?
Thanks for all your suggestions - but the users opted for Fedex!!
They'd apparently had one unsuccessful attempt spanning using 7Zip and that was sufficient for them to believe no technology could do the job.
Ho hum

There have been contrasting experiences, though. wink

I'll lay good money that they didn't pack them correctly, and likely didn't take out the extra insurance. If you put your 1 million dollar picaso behind a thin layer of cardboard and it gets bent, broken or punctured during transit… whose fault is that?
When shipping drives, I always bubble wrap them FOUR times to ensure sufficient padding. If you don't, then don't blame the shipper.
Full disclosure I work digital evidence for a shipping company, but I learned how to pack drives for shipping long before I started working there. Opinions in this post are entirely my own, and do not reflect on aforementioned shipping company.
Had you ever considered S/MIME (RFC 2633) ?? This method goes back to the days
of Serial Modem transfers and has worked ever since. Here is an older standard tech
that seems to have been forgotten.
Here is some intro information from the Network Working Group about this standard
S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) provides a
consistent way to send and receive secure MIME data. Based on the
popular Internet MIME standard, S/MIME provides the following
cryptographic security services for electronic messaging
applications authentication, message integrity and non-repudiation
of origin (using digital signatures) and privacy and data security
(using encryption).
S/MIME can be used by traditional mail user agents (MUAs) to add
cryptographic security services to mail that is sent, and to
interpret cryptographic security services in mail that is received.
However, S/MIME is not restricted to mail; it can be used with any
transport mechanism that transports MIME data, such as HTTP.
As such, S/MIME takes advantage of the object-based features of
MIME and allows secure messages to be exchanged in mixed-transport systems.

I know that you can rely on this proven tech from many years of use back in the day.
Check it out. If items could be sent for sure regardless of what the item was when
Modems were used. That was a point-to-point transfer of item or items, I do not see
why it would not be capable for this particular need.
