OK. I may have to surrender. After offering to scan and send out via e-mail the material for AX-3557 regarding the TM500 Power Module Testing Fixture (see http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/TekScopes/message/51439 ), I was deluged with requests. That's a good thing. The bad thing is that I merged the files, one a virgin copy of AX-3557 and the other the notes for the modification and construction and together it's about 6MB, which is too big for some e-mail systems. With 29 requests and counting, I need a better, more accessible method, which suggests uploading.

So, the question is (remembering that I hate computers and don't have a clue about where, how, when, who, etc.) (1) where to I safely upload the files to AND (2) how is this accomplished? The files are in two 3MB .pdf files or upwards of 18 or so .jpg files, each maybe 700KB or so. Understand that one site where I've been posting longer tutorials on electronics has gone belly-up. I'd like to see a bit more permanance than that!

Hi Dean,
Why don't you just upload them to the files area of either Tekscopearc or Tekscopes? Then anyone can download them as needed.

Dean,
 If you can get it uploaded anywhere someone in this group can then also put a copy in one of the Tek libraries owned by group members which last a lot longer than the site you mentioned.

Dean, please send them to me and I can upload them somewhere to be avaiable to everyone.

But you can try sites like rapidshare, megaupload and 4share.


Don Black <jeans@...>
 

Alexandre, good idea but why not the Tektronix Yahoo group, either the general discussion or archive site. Then anyone needing the files should find them straight off. The site manages that size files well, there are some bigger ones there already.

Don, when I have important information not avaiable elsewhere, I don't trust yahoo, google or anything. I prefer to scatter it all around. Usually I upload on 4share, megaupload and in the respective group(s), and keep the links on many places. There are already too much important things lost just because it was all saved in just one place

Greetings from Brazil,

Fair enough but I don't think it would hurt to add it to the group as well.

Greetings to you too from Australia (Southern Hemisphere rules ;)

Cheers, Don Black.

I use YouSendit Express for large files. It is free.
It does not rely on E-mail.
It can handle files up to 100 Mb
The only kink is that you can only send one file at a time, to 50 recipients at a time.

Another possible solution is Microsoft's Skydrive.
