Sharing Large Files with Colleagues

Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many mail systems. The
DG834GUv5 Wireless Router allows you to share very large files such as PowerPoint
presentations or ZIP files with colleagues at another site. Rather than tying up their mail systems
will large files, your colleagues can use FTP to easily download shared files from the
DG834GUv5.

for your colleague.
