Raymond.

Does anyone in the family have a web site? You can upload the data to the
web and the other person can download it by FTP. Just create a special
sub-directory on someone's web site to do the transfer work. You can also
purchase FTP space for the purpose of transferring large files. Just go to
Google and search on FTP space.
