I want to email a tiff file from my gmail account while I am away from the office to a specific folder on my work pc.
Is there a program that can manage this?

I came across this:

it should wirk if I zip my tiff files but all d/l links for the program have been removed.
 
Thanks. Will check it out. Dunno if it's exactly what I'm looking for though.
 
Can you not use Logmein or TeamViewer to log onto your office PC and manually transfer the file to the correct folder or is this something you are going to be doing quite often?
 
Another alternative would be to to upload the file so a fixed location on a webserver (eg. Google Code :D) and then have a script download it a a regular interval.
 
Does it have to be email for some specific reason?

I use dropbox to accomplish pretty much the same thing and I don't have to worry about file sizes being too large for the email server. For my needs I associated a watched folder into dropbox which would automatically open the default app on my desktop for any file that was synced into it - pretty handy for queuing nzb's while I'm away.

iirc other cloud based services like Sugarsync will let you upload via email - the files should then appear on your PC automagically.
 
cool- thanks for the help guys.
I actually found it easier to use the dropbox method. It's just easier to forward an email but I guess it will work.
Didn't try sugarsync yet.
