I have some friends and family that were at an event and took lots of pictures... and they want to send me about 200 photos each at full-quality.... but alas, email only allows 10mb per-email. Does anyone know the easiest/quickest way for someone (these ppl aren't "too" computer literate) to send 200 standard-sized digital cam photo to someone else online?

ZIP them and then:

That said, email isn't really made for this stuff. FTP is. But I doubt FTP was the answer you were looking for?

Chris... thanks for that site! That's really cool. Unfortunately though, I doubt non-geeks would have any zipping software like winrar or winzip. FTP is certainly the best... but having to teach someone how to use FTP is my last resort!
I've been telling everyone to just upload them to photobucket for now... until I decide what method to use. I just don't know if photobucket does any compression (quality-loss) on the pictures that are uploaded. I would guess it most certainly does for their bandwidth concerns.

Have them burn the images to a CD and mail it to you.

I've actually taught plenty of non-tech-savvy people to use FTP. What really helps is the fact that you don't have to install anything on Windows: Windows Explorer supports ftp out of the box, and from there it's drag and drop.

SmugMug is another possibility.
