Best way to share files with friend?

Hi,

I am looking to share files directly with my cousin, i am an avid seeder for torrents but he doesnt like the idea of torrents. How can we share our files just between the two of us?

Thread moved. Thread title changed.

What sort of files are you looking to share and what speed is your connection?

install ws_ftp pro or similar, and share that way - although posting/taking an external hdd is by far the easiest way!

Perhaps his cousin lives far away.

My advice is to share your files with DC++. If you don't know any hub to join you could always create your own private one (it's easy) where you and your cousin are the only users. :)

FTP is the best solution , will easily max out your speeds

Or if you dont want to get into the hassles use Yahoo messenger or something similar

Problem with Yahoo messenger is that it wont be as reliable as ftp. with a good ftp server, you'll be able to resume where you left off easily (and reliably) when you turn off the pc/lose net connection.

another good one is soulseek - share "list only" and only add each other to your lists. Very good piece of software last i used it...this will also allow you to chat at the same time.

Re: Best way to share files with friend?

I agree with the people saying FTP. If you use a good service, it can be very easy, fast, and reliable. A very good service is free service called http://filezilla-project.org/ which just happens to be free. It even has a Firefox add-on that allows for easy browser integration. Tell me if you need any help setting it up.

if the file is less than 100mb, then host it at rapidshare or any similar site and send him the link.
I personally use yousendit often, you can even install their uploading software that makes it a breeze to share stuff.

if you happen to be running on a OS with either IIS or Apache, it takes you 2 minutes to allow you to share your files with anyone via HTTP. Can't get much easier than that.

Re: Best way to share files with friend?

or even ICQ, which establishes a direct connection between both PCs to share the files, unlike MSN, which routes all the traffic through their relay servers, therefore limiting the speeds.
