Assuming that the person intended to send that much data (pictures) via the network, and that the person can't create a tarball, what's the problem with an 18GB zip file? Its dos's version of a tarball. iso files aren't compressed. When downloading a new OS CD, I wish they were gzipped; would save a bunch of telephone time.
