			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A compressed ZIP archive often contains numerous files. It is frustrating to lose access to all those files if a fragment of the archive gets damaged or corrupted. Here to help you recover those undamaged files is a desktop application called Zip2Flix.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/zip2fix.jpg?570cd5" alt="extract files from corrupt zip" /></p>
<p>Sized at 513KB, Zip2Fix is a freeware for Windows computers. The app does not require any installation – it can be run directly from the executable in the archive you downloaded. The interface of the app is self-explanatory; you click on the Open button and point to the corrupt ZIP or SFX ZIP archive. Information on the contained files is then displayed and undamaged files are recovered. The recovered files are stored in a new ZIP archive and saved for you. The app is extremely simple to use and processes the data quickly.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A user-friendly desktop app.</li>
<li>Compatible with Windows computers.</li>
<li>Recovers undamaged files from corrupt ZIP and SFX ZIP archives.</li>
<li>Stores recovered files in a new ZIP archive.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FileTac is a 3 in one web app for easily zipping, storing and transferring files over the internet without downloading any software or registering. Each service comprises of filling out a small form such as the one below.<br />
<img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/filetac_thumb.png?570cd5" border="0" alt="transferring files over the internet" /></p>
<p>The first service is for sending files to your phone. This works by uploading the files from your computer to their servers and getting a code when the upload is complete. You then go to <em>wap.filetac.com</em> and enter in the code you received. Then the file will be downloaded to your phone.</p>
<p>Another two of their services cater to hosting files permanently. These services are &#8220;˜<em>File Upload</em>&#8216; and &#8220;˜<em>Image Upload</em>&#8216;. When you have chosen your file and uploaded it using the form, you&#8217;re given the file&#8217;s URL. You can then forward this URL to people, tweet it or use it to place images on your blog/website. With the <em>File Upload</em> option, you can go a step further by entering a recipient&#8217;s e-mail address. This will then send them an e-mail notifying them of the file&#8217;s URL.</p>
<p>The final service is to compress files online into a .zip folder. You can upload up to thirty files (each one no bigger than 10MB) and then click <em>compress</em>. You&#8217;re then given a .zip file to download which contains all of the compressed files.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Transfer files to your Phone via WAP.</li>
<li>Upload files and get a URL.</li>
<li>Image hosting.</li>
<li>Online compression tool.</li>
<li>Free and no sign up.</li>
</ul>
<p>Here are <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/send-stuff-from-your-pc-to-mobile-phone-with-these-3-handy-tools/">three more ways to send files over the internet</a>, and if that wasn&#8217;t enough, <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-simple-ways-to-send-huge-files-over-the-web/">here&#8217;s another three</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shrinkfile is an online file zipper utility for those who don&#8217;t have WinZip or WinRaR installed and need to compress a big file and send it across to someone. The file can be uploaded to Shrinkfile and it hosts the file on its servers for 1 week and generates a static URL corresponding to that file. The file can be downloaded from their servers in .zip format.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/shrinkfile1.gif?570cd5" alt="online file zipper" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3734" /></p>

<p>Shrinkfile supports its site through ads and the ads could seem annoying because they are all over the upload box. In fact the upload box is barely visible unless you take your mouse pointer on it. </p>
<p>Except for this demerit, Shrinkfile is a good tool for easy compression of big files.</p>
