Query relating to sending files over the internet

I would be enourmously grateful if any is able to assist with this query:

Does anyone know whether it is possible to send a file on the web directly
to a designated email address. I see to recall that a few years ago there was
a website where you enter the url containing the file in one field, you then
enter your email address in a second field, and the website then sends the
file referred to in the url directly to the designated email address.

If I recall, there was the additional option to have the file sent to the
designated email address in compressed (in .zip) format.

Does this ring any bells or is anyone aware if this is possible?

Many thanks.

Thanks for that. However all of those sites work on the basis that there is a
large file on your hard drive which you want to send to an email address.
What I am looking for is an equivalent service however where the file is not
sitting on your hard drive but on a website and rather than downloading the
file, you send that file directly to a desgnated email address to download.

So, for example, if there was a file on the microsoft website to download,
you would be able to use the service to send that file directly to your email
address, rather than downloading it from the microsoft website.

The closest thing I can think of is something like www.rapidshare.de
what happens is yu upload the file to RapidShare, and you tell them the
e-mail address of the person you want to have access to the file.
RapidShare then sends the URL of the file on their server to the
recipient. The recipient gets the e-mail and clicks on the link to the
RapidShare server and downloads the file.
