AskWoody LoungerThat could be exactly what l am looking , many thanks indeed.
I will try it with a large file and try it out.
-
WSjj123
AskWoody LoungerI will look at this as it seems the most suitable option, l don’t whether this is a file compression utility in the program but l will have a look to see if there is. As friends want be to happyt receiving a file 45 Meg in size!

WSjj123
AskWoody LoungerI am sorry l am not sure what you mean? please can you explain a bit more clearly.
-
WSjj123
AskWoody LoungerI will do that, thanks.
-
WSjj123
AskWoody LoungerYes, but it will cost a lot of money, l will think l will have to save up the money so l can afford to do this, as it appears to be the only solution.
-
WSjj123
AskWoody LoungerDo you any other suggesions then as to how l could resolve the problem?
-
WSjj123
AskWoody LoungerThanks for that, the problem still remains as to finding the software to be able to compress the software up enough so that it can be ftp’d across to my web space, L don’t think pkzip will do this and l need an alternativem source of compression software,any ideas?
-
WSjj123
AskWoody LoungerThats great thanks for that, the problem still lies with the amount of web space l have. As l have a .mov file of 20meg when l only have 10meg web space!
I am considering using your idea of other hosting services but the video is personal and l only want certain people to view it, can it made viewable by using a password or some other means?Do you know of any web sites which l could look at to see if they have such features , i.e. the address of the google site you mentioned, that would be much appreciated.

AskWoody LoungerI have done this but no luck in finding the appropriate software, any other suggestions?
-
WSjj123
AskWoody LoungerDone a search but nothing found, any other suggestions?
-
WSjj123
AskWoody LoungerI did not see any threads for compression software in the “software wants and finds” section, so l started a new thread.
-
WSjj123
AskWoody LoungerThanks for that, l don’t mind there being links to download the file.
-
WSjj123
AskWoody LoungerCan this be resolved in any way? Maybe l could change the path names some how?
-
WSjj123
AskWoody LoungerI have tried to to let drives c and it works but it does work on a network drive when l use the path name
leopardgenhums….
Can you tell me what l am doing wrong?
