I have no other choice but to copy a large file
using floopies. (no burner) The file that I am wanting to copy is a 6 disk file (MS Windows XP Home SP1 6 disk,4.19MB. I guess what I am looking for is the download to ask for disk #2(#3,#4 ect..), but that is not happening. "So my guestion is how do I get the download to fit", or better, how do I get the file to Zipped form onto 6 disk set?

Presuming a Windows OS on both PCs, you could try NTBackup to span multiple floppy disks.

I usually start it by going to RUN and typing in NTBACKUP then click run or press enter.

You could also try downloading WinZip or another "zip" utility. I am not sure if XP's native "zip" ability will span multiple disks.
