Re: Creating a zip file

If I want to send an exe file to someone and it's too big. When I follow the instructions on creating a zipped file, I seem to end up with both the zipped and unzipped files the same size. What am I missing here?


That the .exe is not compressible. Alternates to sending large files (that exceed the per-message size quota of your e-mail provider):

http://www.sendover.com/

You will probably want to change the extension from .exe to, say, .exx so the recipient's e-mail security won't block access to executable attachments. Tell the recipient in the body of your post to rename the file after they save it to disk.
