How to send EXE file via GMail?

Tuesday, May 13, 2008 | Labels: | |


I tried many ways, including archiving the file into different formats, namely .zip, .gzip, .tar.gzip; but none worked. GMail is just too clever!

Thank you to Marjan. The only way is to actually rename the exe file to txt and then attach it to your email. Like so:

mv pscp.exe pscp.txt


Tada! Not so clever now ehhh??

    True.

    I failed to mention that my friend was in an environment where he is not allowed to install any 3rd party software/application :)
