In memoriam
A new client is not getting any of my e-mail messages that have attachments.
Last year, ProZ had a beta version of "my files". I cannot find it on the new menu. If it still exists, if I upload the file there, will my client be able to download it?
If not, can someone tell me how to ftp a file? Are there any other options?
Thanks,
Patricia

www.yousendit.com works great for me, and it's free if you send one file at a time (just zip your files before yousendit)

Thank you, Lori. I'm downloading filezilla, but I'll try you send it, too. All I have is one short file. Do I need buy software to zip the file?
Sorry I'm so in the dark here--this has never happened before!

If you only have 1 file to send, then no need to zip it! Just upload it to yousendit and send the link you receive to your client (by email) and/or have the yousendit interface send the link to your client.
I usually send the files to myself, then forward the link to my clients to make sure it arrives ok.

| FTP and other possibilities | Mar 3, 2010 |
To use FTP, you need access to an FTP server. If the client has one, you can use FileZilla (or other FTP clients) to upload and download files.
If your client has a ProZ profile, go to his/her profile, and choose "Send file (beta)"; this item is above the profile data, in the row that contains "Send message", PayPal, etc. The size limit is 5 MB.
Much larger files can be sent via mailbigfile.com, yousendit.com and other similar services. But if the files contain any con... See more To use FTP, you need access to an FTP server. If the client has one, you can use FileZilla (or other FTP clients) to upload and download files.

Much larger files can be sent via mailbigfile.com, yousendit.com and other similar services. But if the files contain any confidential data, your client may not approve that you use such a service - even ProZ.com's file sending possibility. Check with them.
And, of course, another obvious solution is to use a secondary email address. But only FTP will work if your client's mailbox is full (and that is why they don't receive your mails).
Kind regards,

TOPIC STARTER In memoriam | urgency is over, but I'm so grateful for all this great advice!! | Mar 3, 2010 |
Friends:
My client gave me a different e-mail address and I was able to forward the file (whew!!).
But I'm so delighted to get all the information you've posted. I stated to download filezilla, but then I decided to try yousendit.
However, Tadzio idea sounds the easiest! I'm going to experiment with it now.
Thanks again for your generosity in sharing the information (taking the time to post it, too!).

Simple and free! It has a problem though: it does not work with Google Chrome... at least until 10 days ago.

I haven't been able to get Tadzio's suggestion to work yet. ProZ hosts my web site, so I've submitted a support request.
In the meantime, I downloaded Yousendit, and it seems very easy to use.
That said, I haven't been able to use Google Chrome to download anything (ever)! I'm getting really disgusted with it and with Google searches (I have another thread going on that, which I haven't been able to visit today because of all the craziness).
Thanks!

Another excellent option is getting a Dropbox account, installing the program, and then sharing a folder. Dropbox is wonderful for people who have more than one computer, want automatic and instantaneous backups, and need to share files with others (in other words, it's great for most of us translators ). I love the program and best of all, it's free for up to 2 GB.
Good luck.
