Transfer lots of files via P2P?

0

I need to transfer about 10Gb of files (really small ones) between my two remote computers. I`ve tried creating a torrent and using soulseek with no luck or crazy slow transfers (ports seem to be open). Both computers are on the same ISP with really good connection, so using third-party servers in theory should be ineffective. Are there simple ways to do this, preferably without zipping? Using WindowsXP and Windows7.

1have you tried ftp? – mcalex – 2012-12-29T17:28:05.767

Setting up FTP server? No, i dont know how to do it, and im afraid, it will be slowish with 22.000 files... Ahh, and installing it requires to insert a Windows XP cd, so won't try it for few days... – Justinas Dūdėnas – 2012-12-29T17:39:06.100

Woohoo, it works perfectly! If you post filezilla server as an answer, I can just plain accept it. However, setup and connection is more than two-clicks, so, not as user-friendly as it could be. – Justinas Dūdėnas – 2012-12-29T18:56:50.773

@JustinasDūdėnas: You do realize that Filezilla is ftp, right? – martineau – 2012-12-29T19:38:08.367

@martineau if I managed to setup filezilla ftp server, you could guess, yess :) Just previously I didn`t know alternatives to windows native ftp server. – Justinas Dūdėnas – 2012-12-29T19:42:42.517

You can use the freely available filezilla program to do this. Both client and server programs are free and make setting up FTP almost 2-click easy.        ;-)
