    Hi Folks,

    I downloaded a complete website to my local hard drive and then compressed it into a ZIP file. I am unable to email the site file using Google mail because it is flagged as a security breach of type executable. I looked through the files of the website and only found standard www files, although I suppose there might be embedded java script somewhere.

    Any trick to make this file palatable to Google Mail ?

    Yeah, Google checks the content of zip files for executables, so there's something in there that it doesn't like.

    Best way to send files is to upload to one of the free services such as Dropbox, or use Google Drive:

    That will do it! Thanks

    And it's not like I don't use Google drive every day. Sometimes I can be sooo shtupid.
