File transfer software (ip2ip)
-
Over the next few months, I will be sending/receiving a bunch of files to/from another computer out there in the wild net. Emailing them is a pain. Is there a ip2ip file transfer application you guys have used and recommend? Free is always better. Yes. There is plenty sample code in CP. I myself wrote a simple program to do just this years back and might have to do again if all else fails...

I'll recommend Blade transfer[^]. I used it a while ago, and it was excellent. :)

Anything other than Windows Explorer. What it's doing when it takes 5-10 minutes retrieving a directory listing on a folder containing 20 files on our LAN at work I don't know.

rsync[^] in the guise of DeltaCopy[^]? rsync:
- has authentication support
- can be passed through whichever port you want
- has been designed for efficient file synchronisation over networks
Install the server at one or both ends (whichever are going to be unattended at any point), install the client at one or both ends (whichever one you're going to want to be attended), define the rsync 'shares' and away you go! We use it to perform backups over our LAN (I use it home as well) - but rsync is very flexible.
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Goes out for a coffee Has a chat with all the local servers Pokes around to see if there are any new holes it can jump down Has a go at the network boundaries just to make sure IT are on their toes And comes back and releases your explorer UI. Yep I know just how you feel while waiting for it to open a folder to save a file into!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

rsync. Isn't that what a squid gives you when you try to catch it?

Not really. I recommend rsync. Failing that get a good ssh or sftp server running on each so you can send files to each other. You could always use Windows Live SkyDrive[^]. It's actually pretty neat.
