Depending on how secure you want the connection to be, you can either setup a small FTP server (filezilla e.g.) or a SSH/SCP server. I think there is a port of the OpenSSH server for windows, that is relatively easy to set up. I don't recommend something like the "My Network Places"- method over a VPN, thats more overhead than you get data through the pipe.

I'll second Soulseek, since it's really simple to use. For me, the most reliable way to do private transfers over the years has been IRC though, but that needs a bit to get into, you know, servers, channels and so on...

"private transfers" (at least for me) implies a clean communication channel (something p2p doesn't provide) and at least symmetric encryption (soulseek doesn't provide that).
I really don't think it would be wise to use p2p software when exchanging private data. @Elrasiel: If you don't care for privacy/encrpytion why don't you upload the stuff to the web, give you partner the link and he downloads the data. Or is it the filesize? |

When Smokers try to lasso him, he grabs their tongues and pulls them to HIM instead.
When Hunters jump on him he flips them over, pins them to the ground, and rips out their teeth one at a time. When Boomers vomit on him he wipes himself off, shoots peptobismol into their mouths, and performs liposuction on them before splattering their brains on the wall. When a Tank throws a chunk of concrete at him he rolls up his sleeves and puts on boxing gloves. When a Witch gives him lip he pulls his hand back and slaps that bitch right in the mouth.

If you want to be able to resume the upload, you might want to use Pando. The only problem is that both of you would need an account and the program installed, so it might become a bit of a hassle.

I will really only need it for file sharing between 2 branch locations, but I'm thinking a website using windows authentication would be a better method (especially using remote desktop web). Why is VPN technology so slow? |

You can also share files by using Windows Live Messenger. It might not be as fast as FTP, but it's still a cheap and easy to handle alternative.
 Shushkevich sued the Belarusian Ministry of Labor and Social Security: due to inflation, his retirement pension as a former head of state was the equivalent of one dollar and 80 cents monthly. |

For sharing files, FTP is probably the best solution. You essentially set it up so you have a folder acting as the server root and private or public accounts for your friend(s) to access your files in that folder.
For transferring files, I'd just recommend using whatever instant messaging client suits your needs. They should all come with a simple file transfer feature nowadays, so all you have to do is agree on a single client/protocol with your friend. |
