190852 2003-11-11 03:49:00 is there a simple server/client program out there that can let you easily transfer files just by entering the other party's ip address

i'm thinking along something that works like the file transfer function in ULTR@VNC

this safes the trouble setting up window's file sharing when you just need to copy a file in hurry...

190854 2003-11-11 04:03:00 Well, the whole Internet works by transferring files using TCP/IP. :D

The standard ways (FTP, SSH) of doing what you want involve having a server running at the source end. This can have major security problems if it's not set up properly.

If your files are not too big, it's probably easiest to have the source end send them as enclosures to mail. (I'm assuming that you are thinking of remote computers, not members of a local network, when it's easiesnt to just set up the sharing).

That's all you'll need for Doze <> Doze transfers :-)

190858 2003-11-11 05:41:00 You can transfer files through MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ etc

I used to use Freeftp from brandyware software. It works well, but the software has to be installed by the file recipients too.

You need a direct connection to the net (not over a network :() for it to work.

I wish MS fixes this!

190860 2003-11-11 09:59:00 um.. the ideas are great.. but not really what i was looking for...

it's just that i need something fast and easy to setup
so i can grab my network cable...connect it into my friend's computer... run some server/client software that can enable filesharing
type in the ip addresses and ready to go...


anything for dos would be great too..
