Transferring large files across platforms

Hey All -

I have some files on my GF's PC that i need to transfer to my my external drive. The files range up to about 40gb. The EHD is formatted for my Mac and therefore not recognised by PC. I understand only FAT will operate cross platform but has a max capacity of 4gb per file! Am I missing a simple trick or do I need to source some cross platform compression software and piggy back it over with my 16gb memory stick? If so, any suggestions on software?


This seemed like pretty simple task but I seem to have got myself stuck in the mud with it. Any ideas would be very welcome.


Thanks in advance
