How do I upload huge files across the internet without using P2P?

I work remotely and have 44GB of media files that I need to send back to my office. There are lots of free services out there that can handle up to 2GB, but I haven't seen talk of anything larger.

We both have 50mbps+ connections, so I would rather not mail physical media (though, that is an option). Bittorrent is blocked at my corporate headquarters. We have an FTP server, but the per-user cap is 10GB. I use Citrix, but throughput is throttled to 3mbps. (44gb @ 50mbps = 4 to 5 hours... @3mbps = 5 or 6 days.)

Any suggestions appreciated.

Windows 7 and Windows 2003 Server are the OSes Involved I have tried JetBytes and it is blocked by our content filter

Solution 1:

Perhaps you could run an FTP server on your machine and have somebody there FTP into you where no size limits are in place. For your windows setup, Filezilla is a server that should get the job done. If you are behind a router or firewall you may need to forward port 21 or whatever port you decide to your machine.

Solution 2:

Talk to IT at the office. You've got a legitimate business need (I'm assuming -- if this is your MP3 collection you're on your own ;-) ), they should be willing to work with you on a viable solution. Maybe that will be raising your FTP limit, setting you up with SSH access, or something completely different.

Solution 3:

in case this is on Linux, this is very easy:

Use rsync over SSH in a screen session to move the files:

rsync -aPvzl media/ my.home.ip:destination_folder

Start this in a screen session, so you can attach to it while at home.

Solution 4:

Possibly use a file splitter and joiner.

Split it into smaller chunks and use the free services, then piece it together.

Personally I would just physically mail it.

Solution 5:

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway. [Andrew S. Tanenbaum Computer Networks, 4th ed., p. 91]

FedEx that data. It is hard these days to keep our minds open to the idea that the internet is not the ONLY way to transmit information.
