Best way to transfer files to friends computer.

[Cawchy87]

What is the best method or program to use?

Burn to DVD.

The data has to go both ways and only I have a dvd burner 🙁

Run an FTP server. He can download from you, and upload to you.

Set up an FTP server on your computer so he can upload and download from you.

Just split it all with Winrar... then send in segments over MSN... Sure it'll be lame, but that's not that hard of a thing to do! 😛
Just be sure to set the compression on none when you make the segments, so you don't have to wait an hour or two while it compresses everything.

Filezilla FTP server = opensource
Filezilla FTP client = opensource

Download away!

if you need it fast and only need to transfer data once, i would connect the hard drives together via IDE and transfer all the files that way.
