Hello,
can You please tell us if You have done anything so far? I think Your question is unclear. Maybe an example could make Your problem easier to approach.
What do You mean by data file? What kind of data?

If You have a mail program such as mail or mailx installed, it is easy to have it send files or output from another program to someone else. From within a shell script.

The easiest example would be

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Hello" | mail lakris@somedomain.com

or to use output from a program

Code:

#!/bin/sh
df | mail lakris@somedomain.com

Check the man page for mail and the shell You are using. More info about Your problem would be helpful.
