[ILL-L] Files Too Large to Send

[ILL_PSC ILL_PSC]

We've been using Istorage from Iomega for years, but it's a paid service, but not too expensive.

Patron notification uses an e-mail service hooked to secure FTP URLs. The URLs expire in 15 days and you can track access for those 15 days to make sure the patron has picked up the file. Once the URLs expire you can delete safely or you can resend if the patron still needs to pick up the document. 

You don't download anything. You simply login to the web site and upload the file. Click on it and choose WhaleMail. Type in the e-mail address and a short message and send. 

I've got an ILL folder and my boss has a folder for her local history presentations.

As for other services, see below.

This has been sent to multiple lists.  Sorry for any duplication.

Does anyone have a way to send PDF files that are too large to send via
regular emails?  We just have had one 5 MB document bounce back to us.
Our system limits us to abuot 10 MB, but obviously this other library
limits file size more severly than we do.  The item is 250+ pages, so
printing it out and rescanning is not an option.  Any suggestions?
