File transfer through the internet can be of different ways and each one has its special features involved in it.

Firstly most common file transfer through the internet is sending a file as an e-mailed attachment. Here the size of the file is limited depending on the e-Mail service provider. Yahoo Provides a 10 Mb of file size limit whereas in Gmail it is 25 mb per mail. So the size here is limited and even if we need to send a bigger file then we have to send it part by part. This becomes difficult especially when we are sending video files or a single game image file. Video files can be split by using video split software but image files cannot be split. Hence it becomes difficult to share them.

Then there is the PC 2 PC file transfer which involves only connection between two personal computers and no other server is involved in the process. There is no such file size limit in 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 should be online so that the sender can send the file and the receiver can accept the file which he receives.

You can upload the file to the websites which are providing file storage services. This is also limited storage depending on different sites may be up to 150 MB.
