Best Free File Transfer

[J'rd]

What's the best option for transferring about 2 gigs of files between 2 computers that aren't, and can't be, on the same network?
I'm looking for something that's free or very cheap. Thanks

some sort of FTP daemon, or a p2p program.

[J'rd]

Any specific suggestions?

[J'rd]

The 2 computers are right next to each other so direct connection is an option..... I've tried direct parallel, but I don't know how to transfer files over it.

files transfer wizard if you have xp usually works well.

Otherwise try using a hub and creating your own network with network wizard through windows.

Thats all i know about networking....i am not a network master, but i know the basics...

I'm guessing both haven't access to the internet!?"

I wouldn't bother doin via parellel, thats for sure, it'd take years!

So no Internet and no network, I'd suggest you gettin a spare hard drive or somthing maybe open up your machines stick the hard drive copy the files over to the hard drive stick it in the other one...............GOD!

No internet Access?!"

[J'rd]

I never said they don't have internet access.....

[snaggle]

I don't know, LOL!!

Do they?! if they do thats Great!!

I'd suggest you settin up FTP on the computer with the files you want to transfer depending on the the OS and type of internet connection you have?!"

Whats the OS on these machines? What sort of Intenet connection have you got?!"

Any of the 2 machines have a burner in it?

if they both have NIC cards you can use a crossover cable.
