Pc networking over the internet

[*JimmyJ*]

I have a large file which i need to send to someone. Want to send this file over the internet, but dont want to use remote desktop or any or sh!tty remote connection stuff. I was thinking, is it possible to connect straight to their router then a port number to get them the file?

Yes, if your using linux just SCP the file over.

send file.ext to /location on remote computer

scp file.ext username@computer:/location

Ah the beauties of linux. If your using windows don't think there is an easy option other than setting up an ftp or vpn.

You can use the windows built in FTP server, just make sure that ILS is installed, configure your router to allow access to it and away you go.

Default ftp port is 21, which will need forwarding on the router.

Running XP Pro is this still a problem?

The ILS service can be installed from the XP Pro disk.
