File Transfer

does anyone know of a private p2p network. cross platform, so i can send some files to my friends from linux (11.0) to windows (XP)? i would prefer a .rpm but i will cope with the compile source.

Tell your friends to get WinSCP and open a ssh port (!=22) on your end.
OpenSSH is already installed in most situations.

If they’re smaller files, yahoo email can handle up to about 6 meg files
easily. (~10 meg total size after base64 encoding)

gmail accounts have 20MB attachment limits… so upwards of 14meg attachments
could be sent. (~20 meg total after base64…)

IRC supports DCC’ing files back and forth.

Yahoo messenger allows sending files of almost any length to another chatter.

AIM… same

MSN messenger… same

Jabber allows sending files… same

Set up FTP server on your machine (OpenSuse), open your firewall ports, allow
them access.

Set up minimal web server on your opensuse machine, open ports, place files
there for them to pick up.

Burn them to a CD or DVD, mail to them (not email).

create your own torrent, millions of people could help transfer it.

You could upload to usenet, no size limits.

Here’s a cross-platform direct-connect application: (see FAQ, section 2)
http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/

That’s a few choices… there’s many more…
