Actually mailing a file usually uses more bandwidth, because the file must
be encoded -- maybe something like a 25% increase. But the main problem is
server space: when you ftp a file, it goes from the remote site directly to
your machine. When you mail a file, it bounces amoung mail servers until it
gets to your ISP, where it eats up disk space until you check your mail.
