hey i am out at school and left my desktop at home which i have remote access to, however i left some large files on my desktop that i need like some zipped up music and dvd backups getting up to about 5gb files. I do not have access to the router that it is behind so i can’t open ports for an ftp server to be set up very easily, so i guess this is the actual question part…..:
does anyone know of a free or cheap program that open a connection between two computers over the net that is able to transfer large files between them, up to 5 GB perhaps…..
I know a free program for remote desktop access with a feature called file transfer but I don’t know if you can transfer 5 gb.The one who controls the desktop will need to download the full version and the other one the customer module.You don’t even need to install anything.The customer module and the full version should run both at the same time, and the one with the customer module should tell you the id and the password to connect.The web page is http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx
It will pass through any firewall or router.
I’m sorry but ftp is your best and fastest option. Had this prob a few weeks ago and tried like 5-6 different methods and ended up just installing a simple ftp server on one of the comps and downloading everything to the other..
