If you're using your own server, certainly.
If you're using a third-party service, they need to have an API.
Drop.io apparently does: http://api.drop.io/

Cheers,

All the individual zip files should be linked.
I should be able to extract the original file by extracting the first of 
the small zip files.


You're using the wrong medium. Upload the file to an http server 
somewhere and just include a link in the email...

zip a huge file into multiple small ones

2009-09-06 Thread krishna chaitanya
I am new to dealing with zip files in python.
I have a huge file which i need to zip and send as an attachment through
email.
My email restrictions are not allowing me to send it in one go.
Is there a way to split this file into multiple zip files, so that i can
mail them separately.
All the individual zip files should be linked.
I should be able to extract the original file by extracting the first of the
small zip files.
