tibberous Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I use logmein free and often need to move files between my two computers. Generally, I move the file to my server, then download it, but it takes longer because of the intermediate step. Is there a lightweight program that lets me move files between 2 online computers?

tibberous Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 I use WinSCP all the time. Is there a way to do a direct transfer with it?

tibberous Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 I actually used that as the basis for a backup system I wrote. I was using wget but it had trouble if a directory was overly nested, so I ended up writing the entire system as a PHP script that wrote out and executed a WinSCP script. I'm pretty sure you can't use it to connect directly to another computer, at least without running an FTP server.
