I'm wondering why nobody has proposed using pigeons...
But given the alternatives...

Ask him to create a web service that supports base64Binary attachments, let him to set credentials, and you consume the file trough a small WCF application. Simple!

Not sure if it was mentioned before, but WeTransfer?[^] It's free for up to 2GB.

And looks ultra-easy to use...
Nice! thank you!

We (the "DAO" in Chinese, see the insider news ) developed a system called 1-NET that can do large file transfers in P2P or distributed relay mode. It is in public test mode now. Anybody here is welcome to try and we would like to thank any kind of feedbacks.
For your use case, it would be better to use the desktop version of the client that can be downloaded here[^]. Ihe transfer is P2P based and is capable of resuming. All one needed is register an account and all his/her endpoints becomes connectable to each other after logged into the same account...

Sounds good, but I've already recommended them to use google drive or wetransfer (as previous recommendations pointed to them) but thank you, I'll keep an eye on it.

FTP, copy a link to it and include the link in an email. Most browsers can directly download from FTP.
You can even include username/password in the link, however, I'd most likely just add the file into an anonymous readable folder on the server.
Of course some of the cloud storage servers also has anonymous downloads. As far as I remember Google Drive is one of them that don't, but this is my major reason for still sticking with DropBox and Box - at least the recipient isn't "forced" to subscribe. Though they are bombarded by an add page when they click that link ... nope FTP and nothing else is as easy for the recipient and yourself as the sender.
You could add a HTTP download if you've got access to a web site, but that's more work on your side and not at all easier for the recipient than a FTP link.
And then depending on bandwidth normal snail-mail may actually be faster. Probably not with 1GB, but when you're nipping at the 1TB mark I'd definitely look into sending a disc by post / courier.

Hi Joan;
you can use wetransfer.

At the end the customer has used Google Drive (he has installed it in his computer) but this was already mentioned and looked by far the best option.

FTP
And send the customer a batch file that will upload their file for them.

Not an option here as I needed multiple folders and hundreds of small files inside...

Yes, that is what I ended up recommending to the customer.

I remember when the answer for much smaller amounts of data was "Federal Express."
