Sweet Jesus....10 rate-ups for anyone who knows how I can compressed a 250mb powerpoint presentation and email it to someone with dial up...
Not a clue. You could always burn it to a disc and then fedex it though. You know if the persons computer isn't still using 5 & 1/4 inch floppy drive.

They need it by 7am, before priority delivery. And hell if I am getting on a plane to Arkansas.
Do they know anyone in driving distance that has high speed?
Do you know how to use compression like Zip etc?
Can you give me ten rates ups anyways?

In theory with a dial up connection it would be downloaded before morning if memory serves right, but it would take nearly all night starting about now.
So compress it at best and tell them to not expect any calls.
Or you know, gte high speed internet.

Too late....I win. Found a way to optimize the size of the file and modified it from 256mb to 6mb.
Now make with the rate-ups ********

Ok rated you up, but if you had BMP files in there that explains 99% of the weight of the file, use JPEG or PNG or GIF, but for the love of the noodly appendage dont ever use BMPs for well anything.
Right. Use RAW instead.
Also, in the future if you run in to the problem again, you can break a powerpoint presentation up by pages and send multiple files if optimization and compression doesn't work. I was d;cking around with a bridge drawing once and could't get the AutoCAD file small enough to e-mail, so I broke it in to individual layers and sent it out. All my dad had to do was merge the layers back and presto.

It was 63 pages and my secretary had left for the day. That option was definitely out.
FTP up to a web server, then give the person the URL of the file via email. Works well for larger files.

You need to straighten that bitch out, is all.

How many of those 10 hours is she under your desk?
that could be a problem too.if e-mail is the only way? you might try winrar, not sure how much compression you will get out of it, but i would suggest a better way its called torrent. if that will not work, then you might want to just post it someplace to a server and let them download it at their time.
250M should not blow up there in-box one would hope so worst case you just e-mail it as is.
and who is still on dial-up for crying out loud and using powerpoint?

My company uses NXPowerLite. I believe they have a working demo.

You guys are kidding right? I could understand an individual getting caught in a jam, but a company?
It's not rocket science to set up an ftp server. If your company has email it can do this (gotta have an internet setup, firewall, etc anyway). That's the correct method for transfering large data files around on the internet.
Either that, or you put it on tape and drive it over (there's a joke somewhere about never underestimating the bandwidth of a stationwagon full of backup tapes barreling down the highway at 60 mph).
If you can compress a file or whatever down small enough to send in email, that's great. If you can't, use ftp.

Not all of us have the freedom of working at some 2nd rate mobile phone company, g. If it were me, I could get fired for setting up an FTP server on the company network. Rocket science or not perhaps you should limit talking out of your *** to political threads.
I think he meant the Company itself should have an FTP server (and it's not hard to set up) so that the company can send large files if it needed to. Just because techies use something efficient doesn't mean companies can't, it only means they won't.

Correct. Although it's also not exactly rocket science to set one up on your home PC either (although I wouldn't for a number of reasons). I was somewhat specifically responding to a number of posts that seemed to be listing off different ways people at various companies use compression or whatever to get around the "problem" of sending presentations via an email attachement. I just thought that was incredibly silly...
And Moe? I don't work at a 2nd rate mobile company. I understand that joe random person can't set up an ftp site on the company network. However, joe random person *should* be able to put something on the site that he can download externally. If you're at a company that restricts normal folks from setting up their own ftp, then the company *provides* it for their employees. That's what I was really getting at.

third rate?
Joe Random person generally wouldn't know where to sit in the morning if the company didn't tether him to his seat. Trust me. And I know exactly what you were getting at, but I got a response out of you anyway.
FTP is to hazardous to mess with for most companies and for things that might need to be secured a better way would be to setup a https site for directory browsing. then the large files could be downloaded via the web page under https requiring some kind of validation.
i still think that working off of a 56k and using the above application is a bad idea no matter how you transfer the data. 56k is the killer in this thread.
FTP = dangerous
http = not as bad, but not secure
https = best of both worlds and is SECUREABLE unlike http or FTP.

Yeah. Depends on the size of the company and the quality of their security IT staff. FTP is as secure as the network it's on and the authentication methodology you use.
https is only "more secure" because it has a built in secure authentication process. Out of the box, it's more secure then FTP. If your guys know what they're doing, there's fundamentally zero difference.
The danger you can get into is thinking that by tossing a server with https secured pages on it, you've "secured" your remote access. You've in many cases opened yourself up to just as many methods of attack as any other remote accessable system. At the end of the day, anything that can be accessed across a network is vulnerable, and only as secure as the weakest point in the whole system. What application you're using has very little to do with it...
