To clarify. shipping a drive was not an option as the phone call came
Friday afternoon, missing that day’s fedex deadline thus making the
earliest possible delivery time Monday morning, which was too late.

What I was looking for was a fair, “market rate” for FTPing material.
It seems that such a rate doesn’t exist and we all negotiate price
based on the job, and the client.

Thanks again for all the input.

appreciate all input. Seems like a situation which should have been clarified upfront with client. I will certainly consult with client before sending invoice.

Thanks for the input. I was skeptical about charging an hourly rate
for this, and now more so. I will call the client and negotiate a
reasonable fee. I was putting this out there because I hadn’t heard
much about this topic.
FYI, the third party needed files ASAP so physically sending a drive was
not an option.
