How many different ways can you transfer a file?

[Kenji4861]

I was recently asked in a job interview to think of many different ways to transfer a file.

I mentioned some things like
- FTP
- USB stick, USB Backup Drive
- CD-R, Floppy Disk, Zip Disk
- Instant Messenger
- Making file available on website
- Detatching the actual hard drive
- Email

But the guy sounded like.. "is that it?" Just curious what else would you guys have said?

The answers sound too specific?

I would say
Peer to Peer
FTP
Removeable Media (this covers tapes, usb sticks, cd-rs, etc)
File Server
Email
