i am trying to get a copy of my fiancee's resume to her, but her work filters .doc files.

my old college account that i used to use for this type of stuff has been disabled.

does anyone know of a site that will host a couple word docs?

change the extension of the file to .txt

send it to her, and tell her to rename the file.






eta:
or create a hotmail account real quick, mail the file from that account to that account, and give her the password and username.

you lose all of the formatting (tables, font types, etc.) doing that.

Can't she use like a webmail account (personal email) to get the file?

Use the webspace that comes with your ISP account.

yea tried that... we use outlook at work, so on my end it formats it, then when she gets it, it strips all the XML tags.

her work blocks personal email (hotmail, comcast, etc etc)

negative, can't access comcast.net from work, they block that site...

i would host them on my linux box at home, BUT my work blocks all outgoing traffic now, even port 23 which i had SSH using to get around this, and even then it would require her downloading and using PuTTy or some other SSH client and then hoping that her work left port 23 or 22 unblocked...


i am checking out google docs now, but i am afraid my work won't let me login to it since it uses the gmail login...

ok.... so youve tried almost everything and nothing is working.

go over to archive.org and upload the file (removing her personally identifying information) and email her the link to get it.
