file transfer issues cause of virus doubts

[replikanxxl]

i'm trying to code a program for TinyOS and there are some files that we need for reading parameters from, at the simulation phase. And the test script is a python file. But we cant send this file to each other cause neither mail services nor instant messaging software let us as they say it may be a virus.
So my question in general is, do we have a way to transfer this kind of files ?

Use a pastebin service if it isn't too long... Look at http://pastebin.com

Or use a code hosting service... or use a .tar.gz or .zip file... Or send it as a text file with .txt extension.

why don't you use rar or bzip or any of the others that linux has. I think you can use rar it should do almost anything.

gmail shouldnt block .py files anyway, but tar.gz will work, or as said previously, pastebinit
