Guest Baabaa Productions Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Recently had a job which involved the transfer of large files of uncompressed audio. The VO artist I was working with had an account with Yousendit and it worked fine. Has anyone got experience of any other sites which they can recommend....it would be good if they had a free option. Many Thanks. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 We use mostly FTP. You can hire out a FTP server for $20 for one month.. http://www.asmallorange.com/services/hosting/extreme.php We are using FTP to manage this site (Not with a small orange though).. as youve probibly seen, we have a files directory that everythings stored on.. (http://files.broadcastingworld.net) How much space do you need? Im currently leasing some of my space out to arthur burton for free Studiio - All-In-One Radio Communication Platform SMS | Phone Calls | Social Media | Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Baabaa Productions Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Thanks James Basically just need it for the odd job that requires a large file. This particular job had over 30 mins of audio so was a large un compressed file. Just want something which can be used occasionally for file transfer rather than storage. I might sign up to yousendit for the odd occasion I may need it. I just wondered if anyone used a similar facility. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hmm.. if you could find a free ftp host, you would be right You could try signing up for a free webhost like http://www.awardspace.com/ and just using their FTP Studiio - All-In-One Radio Communication Platform SMS | Phone Calls | Social Media | Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairedodin Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hi Mark, I've been using yousendit.com for years and it's great, I've never had problems. I also have an ftp server but often people have problems using it, I'm not sure why, it's compatibility problems with their software or browser or something else. I find it's not reliable enough. Yousendit is simple because it's just an email link and it always works. I pay to send multiple very large files, but I believe that a few megabites are free so you may not need to pay. I know other services of the kind exist, but I've never used them, so I don't know if they are any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judniven.com Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I have to agree with those that have chimed in on YouSendIt. It's free, if you don't mind having to send one file at a time...I use it all the time, works great, either the online version or the program you install, it has a great little address book that stores previous email addresses, which is handy if you are sending stuff to the same client all the time.

Guest Baabaa Productions Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Many thanks for repling I have gone the yousendit route at the moment and will keep other options open. Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
