What you need to know about file transfer

Internet has become a very important part of our day to day. Internet completely changed the face of web technology and now with the help of it there is nothing you can do. You can get information on any subject in a matter of seconds and you don’t have to go to any library to search for them. You can also chat or share music files, videos and image files with them. In the early days, the Internet was used only for checking email and chatting with loved ones. But now, with the help of you, you can download movies, songs, software, games, images, etc. You can also upload files you have on your computer and share them on social networking websites so your friends can see those collections.

You have bought a new digital camera and taken photos while on vacation; you can share those memories with your friends and loved ones. File transfer over the Internet can be in different ways and each has its own special features involved.

First of all, the most common file transfer over the Internet is to send a file as an email attachment. Here the file size is limited according to the email service provider. Yahoo provides a 10Mb file size limit, while in Gmail it is 25MB per mail. So the size here is limited and even if we need to send a larger file, we have to send it in parts. This becomes difficult, especially when we send video files or an image file of a single game. Video files can be split using video splitting software, but image files cannot be split. Therefore, it becomes difficult to share them.

Then there is the PC to PC file transfer, which involves only the connection between two personal computers and no other server is involved in the process. There is no such file size limit on this type of transfer. You can transfer any size of files and any number of files. The only thing is that for the file transfer to take place, both the receiver and the sender need to be online so that the sender can send the file and the receiver can accept the file they receive.

You can upload the file to the websites that provide the file storage service. This is also limited storage depending on different sites it can be up to 150mb.
