Gmail: How to Send Executable Files
How to send executable files (.exe, .jar, .bin, etc.) through Gmail:
- Open the Windows command prompt.
- Type cd to navigate to the location of the executable file. For example, cd Desktop/Folder if the file is located in a folder on the desktop.
- Type dir to see a list of the files at that location.
- Type ren to rename the file, adding something extra to the end of the filename. First type ren, then the name of the current file, then the new name of the file. For example, ren test.exe test.exeREMOVETHIS.
- Attach the new file to the email.
- Give the receiver instructions to remove the last part of the filename once they download it.
