I want to send out a mail with a large attachment to a bunch of people. I know sending via email is not very efficient, whats a good way?
All Coinet customers have personal web space available. So, you can upload a file to your web space, then you can email your friends the address to go and get it! You will need to follow the directions at http://www.coinet.com/upload.php to get the file uploaded. Let’s say you uploaded a file named “elfbowl.exe.” If your account name at Coinet is “joeuser” then tell your friends to access the file using the URL http://www.coinet.com/~joeuser/elfbowl.exe. The initial work of getting to know how to do this is worth the trouble in the end. Make sure to delete old files from your web directory every so often so you don’t outgrow your disk quota. This also ensures that only those that really want to get the file will retrieve it. If you send it via email, they haven’t any choice but to spend time (sometimes a lot) downloading it. Maybe they don’t want a new screensaver.
