This was a small setup file of a program I had downloaded from the web. How did I send an executable file over Gmail as an email attachment? But if you aren’t satisfied with this and want the real deal… here is how it is. You can then forward the URL to the recipient. Simply upload the file on your own server or one of the free file hosting sites (if they allow).

Before I describe my little experiment by which I was able to send a 2.5MB executable file as an email attachment through Gmail, I should tell you an alternate way to do this.
