Consider compacting the database and using a program like WinZip. I use the
USB Flash Drives for moving large files to and from clients. You should be
able to pick up a 64 mb drive for about $30.

Are you saying that you'd like to be able to make changes to the database
using machine a and have machine b see those changes? There's really no way
of doing that that I'm aware of, other than mailing the complete database
back and forth.

It's possible there might be some way to use Replication to do this, but I'm
not sure your infrastructure is set up properly for this. You can check
http://support.microsoft.com/support/access/content/repl/replfaq.asp if you
want more information about Replication.

Maybe it is too large for disk? Try writing to a RW CDROM?
