Wanna send a large file to a friend, what method do you reccomend?

Stupid AIM Transfer never works since im behind 2 firewalls and he's behind one.... Thinking i might go with a free ftp daemon, but i dunno if its possible to get the port 21 open on both routers to let him connect to me.

write it out in binary and mail it to him.

FTP. You could just set one of the computers as a temporary DMZ host to allow the transfer through AIM.

 

[glen]

both of you turn off your firewalls for 20 mins

FTP if it isn't too large, other wise snail mail on CDs or DVDs.
