The best idea that I can think of is archiving the files you want to send in a .zip or .rar format. It doesn't matter which. You can then add a password that only both of you should know to it, and it wouldn't get out easily if you don't post the links anywhere online, and you send those to each other through IM or something. Learn more about archiving files with password protection by using Google.
Then upload them to "www.mediafire.com". You'll get a link to the download to share with whom you wish to download them.
Similar, but more security. Remember, there absolutely is NEVER security online, or in life. It's an illusion that's been around for a very long time.
