15. Upload your information to another server. Try http://www.esnips.com to play at doing this.
16. Encrypt it using a password or a public key method.

You can get Winace from download.com - that will compress and encrypt your file and then upload it to 1 gig of space on esnips using their downloadable toolbar.
If you want your own virtual art gallery and access to my esnips folder - you can join the jigsaw group on Yahoo. It gives you a jigsaw to do and a 3D art gallery to display your picture in when you've finished it. the gallery is great - with a fast video card you can treat it like a race track! But this is serious computer Art in the 21st century!
