[PLUG] how to transfer gigabytes without tech support

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I have 14 GB of data I want to give someone.  He's on MacOS X.  I
thought to do rsync via ssh, but talking him through certificates and
terminal things is becoming too painful.  Simple things fail that I
would see if I were there, but I'm not and his descriptions omit
little details that he has no way of knowing are critical.

Next thought, make it available for http.  So I tar it up.  But apache
refuses to serve a 14 GB tar archive, saying it's too big.  (Weirdly,
this causes a directory to disappear, too: directory foo/ is visible
until overly large foo.tar is present, then they both disappear from
the directory listing that apache generates!)

Any thoughts on how to do this as simply as possible?
