I see you're using Outlook Express as your mail program. Send your
son an email, attach the MP3 files. You do this by clicking the
paperclip icon "Attach fie to message". You can attach multiple
files to one message, but his mailbox will have a size limit for each
message, and an overall size limit. So play safe and send a separate
message for each file, and send in batches, allowing him to clear his
inbox before receiving the next lot.

I hope you both have a broadband connection. If not, practically
speaking - forget it. Burn the MP3 files as data onto CDs and post
them.

Assuming your son is using webmail, often there are limits to how much you
can send.

Much better to FTP the files to the webspace that your ISP provides for you.
FTP details will be available on the support section of your ISP.

good luck....

I seem to remember there is a programme around called "you send it" or
similar very useful for large files..

For larger files (up to 1 GB) you can send it via www.yousendit.com and the
recipient(s) can pick it up anytime within 7 days.

There are limits with most ISPs email servers as well. 5mb/message isn't
unusual.

You clearly did not understand what Oddjob was suggesting. Such limits will
not apply using his suggestion; the only limit would be the amount of free
space in the web account on the web server.

Does an ISP allow FTP access to an email account? My BT ISP has 15MB of
web space, but 2GBish of email space. I haven't found a way to store
anything on the email side of things.

If it's over 2GB, I'd have thought it'd be quicker/more reliable/less
hassle to burn a DVD and send it.

No, email is a separate issue. For example, I pay Demon about 12 quid
a month of my ill-gotten. For that, I get some miserly amount of space on
my WEB account, like 20MB or something. If that were all empty, I could
FTP up to 20MB of files to that area. As it is, mine's nearly full of
pictures of me looking gorgeous many years ago in like 2000, but the fact
remains that this is nothing to do with email.

I just issue "ftp homepages.demon.co.uk" (IIRC), login as "fleetie" with my
password, then I can "put" whatever files I want there. This is the
kind of thing Oddjob was on about.

Email restrictions don't come into it.

BT manage to rip me off for 25UKP. I find 15MB unusable, so I paid 30
quid (or something) for some space elsewhere, but that's proved to be
hassle with limitations on file types (no mp3s) and zero tech support.
So now I just use google, which is free for now, 2GB web space, and a
neat little web page editor. I think it has 10MB file limits, but life
goes on.

Yes, thanks, thought so.
