Does anyone know whether it is possible to do a direct file transfer of a large file such as 50MB over the internet from PC to PC. Both of us have very fast Cable internet connections but don't stay close by.

Can this be done using a software such as WS_FTP Pro or with a Windows Remote Desktop. I know it was possible using the Windows HyperTerminal over a phone line but obviously only for small files because of the limitations of phone lines.

It is not easy to use KaZaA Lite to do this. Even though the files are shared they don't get listed when my friend does a search on his KaZaA Lite. Is it possible to setup direct one-on-one file sharing with KaZaA Lite?

yeah, best way: the person with the files loads up BulletProof ftp and is the server. the other person loads WSFTP_Pro.

then set up an account name password in BP and voila...its nice and easy.

look in the lounge for a tutorial (I think) which is pinned (uses BP), and if theres any probs, just ask :)

Yes it is possible to send even large files with MSN Messenger but it lacks a resume manager.

I've also been told that WWW File Share is probably the best program to do this. I downloaded the WWW File Share freeware version because I couldn't find the Pro version with KaZaA Lite to test. My friend had a problem accessing the website even though it seemed to work fine from my end. I think it is probably because of my McAfee firewall. I need to learn to do some tweaking with that.

But don't you still need a server or at least BulletProof FTP Server software installed. I heard that WS_FTP Server software also can do this. I can't find it on KaZaA Lite though.

I'm afraid that using both WS_FTP Server and WWW File Share is not such an easy task for me because I'm behind a router and I don't have access to the router settings.

Actually, I have already transferred the file I wanted using MSN Messenger but I would like to figure out an alternative method with resume feature for the future.

I've used BP and WS_FTP, they're good, but it took me a week to get BP running the first time I did it. For a single-time thing I'd try IM/IRC.

is a good one
just drop the file you want to share into the app, it will then give you a link for it, pass the link it creates to the person you wish to share with and as long as you are online and the app is running there should be no problem.
i have used this a few times and as of now have had no problems with it.

It seams that maybee all this setting up a server business may be a little more than you need. May I suggest filetopia. Piece of shit as a peer 2 peer, but does allow you to easily send a file to a specific user, while keeping it encrypted. Just thought thay may be a little more what you are lookin for.

That sounds more like it. I also think setting up a server thing is not worth the trouble for a thing that I will need on an ad-hoc basis but I had a problem reserving a nick with Filetopia. I also had to disable my Firewall completely because it detected as Filetopia trying to cause a port scan attack. I think my McAfee firewall may have blocked all traffic from Filetopia as a result of that which may have been the problem in reserving a nick to connect.

best sulution to that is not to use mcafee! but if you are too proud there are others, you could do it with direct connect, just join the same hub. BUt I would just not use mcafee. I use norton and have no prblems with filetopia besides it sucking. Other thing, you have router firewall and mcafee? gonna cause problems, with p2p
