Yes You upload the file to their server, the receiver gets an DL-Link, from where he can http-dl from. I'm using it frequently, since IE-users has problems connecting to my ftp for uploading files. Not that many knows how to use FTP unfortunatly. I'm carryin various user and service manuals (similar to BAMA and others) on my server and some of them are pretty big, so email is not an option to send these files, so yousendit is a perfect way to do it. If someone wants to send me a manual, say somwhere above 20-30 meg and he cannot use or connect to my ftp for whatever reason, he upploads it to yousendit, I receive an email from yousendit stating that nn has send me a file, and I can download it from the following url...... Quite simple, there is no need for any acount, no money involved so its a very convinient way of sendin large files. With best regards Tomas Larsson Sweden http://www.naks.mine.nu for downloads etc. ftp://ktl.mine.nu for uploads. Or use the free www.yousendit.com service.
