Sending files over the internet is usually a quick and easy activity – just attach the documents to an email and press “send.” However, the task turns into a chore when you have to transfer large files or a metric ton of data (or both).

That will make Target’s physical DVD section even smaller and only available during specific times.

If you're a developer, system administratir, or just a general Mac power user, you're probably very familiar with Terminal functionality.
