Pal is trying to send a huge folder 47 MB folder - he can't and
neither can I. Tried zipping it and it doesn't seem to zip as it
contains word docs, scans, pics and then sending as an e-mail
attachment. It just bombs out. Any ideas out there as how to send this
folder.

Thanks in advance.

With a bit of googling you can do this....
:
Get a liveCD, boot from CD, and turn on ftp server feature.
Open a port on the firewall if you need to.
He should boot from his PC with a liveCD as well and using
konqueror connect and upload/download from your PC as much
as you permit.

LiveCDs like Mepis, Knoppix are good for the ftp server,
and also they have konqueror.
An alternative method is to use liveCDs with ssh.
Its a secure way to transfer files.
