Free FTP and password press
For all the instantaneousness of the internet, broadband and digital flexibility there still resides a strange residual meta-physicality about digital files.... Big ones are difficult to move around just like a big physical parcel.
I cant email a cut of a movie to a colleague, I cant just click a button and have them see it on the other side of the world. (one day soon im sure) Rather we have to deal with FTP systems, uploads and downloads an a sometimes slow passage of hefty data. This is all fine but extra layers of complexity and tediousness bother me. There are a plethora of services online for transporting big files; a great many of them are free and offer a secure way to temporarilly host a large file for a designated recipient to download, alas virtually all of these require a login, a setting up of an account and, most annoying of all, yet ANOTHER bloody password. Im so sick of having a thousand passwords and login ID's.
Joyus it was therefore when i discovered the websites serive
Tranfer Big Files. It does what so many free FTP services do save for one great differecne - NO LOGIN, NO PASSWORD. Just go to the site, upload your file and tyope in the email address of the recipient. That perosn gets an email with a link, they click the link and download the file.
No mess, no fuss, no password, no log-in. Too easy.

Very cool products and infinitely scalable for what you need.
If you are looking for a wicked review and approval tool for online check out cinesync. You can render out a quicktime version dump into this and your ftp site and then conference people in to check out your rushes or you proposed cuts etc
