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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
