Razor512 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 My friend is at college and over there, they block almost everything. (and just like me, he likes anime) he wants to be able to download a new episode of a anime show every week but the school prevents that from happening so I am usually stuck using the file transfer in trillian to send him the episodes. (this can get very annoying for both of us) I was wondering if there was a way for him to give me access to his C:Documents and SettingsUser NameDesktop folder where i can just send the files directly to him (he usually saves the videos to his desktop and deletes them after watching) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Well, if he has an externally accessible IP then he can set up an FTP server to allow you to upload a file there. If he doesn't then he's going to have to initiate the connection, so you could set up an FTP server (or an HTTP server) and he could download it from there.

Razor512 Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 he tried setting up one before and I was never able to connect to it. he cant even connect to normal multiplayer game servers. but today i was able to get him to try Hamachi and it connected with no problem and I was able to vs him in battlefield 2 (his college is really annoying, there are many other wireless networks available but they all are using WPA (I tried all of them and none of my dictionary attacks worked) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothCriminal Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Have you tried www.logmein.com ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor512 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 I normally use logmein on the computers of family and friends as I keep all of their computers up to date and fix problems but logmein doesnt allow me to transfer files so I am usually stuck uploading to yousendit or mediafire then downloading with the other computer (can get really annoying) one thing that I really wanted to do was to create a shared folder on his pc then use a hamachi like program to connect to the shared folder the main problem is that he doesnt want run much extra since just like me, he uses his PC for gaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leapo Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Has he tried downloading via proxy with something like Ultra Surf? If it works, it would probably be faster than sending the episodes to him over IM... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor512 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 yep thats the first thing we tried. probably tried over 100 different proxies they allowed him to go on all needed websites but did nothing for downloading torrents (i think the proxy servers block torrents) PS the college uses a proxy (usually when using the internet at the college, you have to go into your browser settings and just add 8080 for the proxy server ( no name needed) and that allows you to surf the web. (with out it, no web pages load ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFE Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 If you have a computer not being used currently you could set up a Linux distro with a SSH server running. Then he could use a ssh client that supports file transfer on windows, or sshfs if on a linux box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor512 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 www.tubesnow.com I expect a reward... cool I will check it out I do have a extra pc that i use as a small file server (I store all of my anime on it (almost 400GB :), runs windows xp, and it sucks, 533MHz 512MB memory) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paralys Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Well, it won't let you access his box, but if you set up HFS (www.rejetto.com/hfs/) then you can just throw the files on that and let him download from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HALEN666 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 why doesnt he use a bootable cd to download the episode you wanna get? then once he gets it then tell him to upload the file to a ftp server, if he does not have a ftp server tell him to create an account in www. bluetie. com once he creates the account "for free" he will have 5 gb available to upload anything he wants to his acccount, it also gives you an email account and you can even add 5 more people to your domain it is a great service and it is for free, then once he uploads the episode to his account tell him to add you to his domain and tell him to share his files that he will have in his account. after that all you would have toi do is to log in in your account that he will give you and bang all you would have to do is to download the file to your computer. this is very handy, after that you will be able to share files through bluetie just upload the file to your account and share the file in your account to the other members of the domain and they will be able to download the file in their computers. i hope i could help you. i am new in this forum but i got a little experience in the computer field ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8Junkie Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I hate to recommend it, but AIM has a feature in it were you can share a folder with your buddies. If you saved your vids in it, your friend could d/l them whenever he wanted. That is if his college doesn't block the port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullspace Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I am pretty sure hamachi uses a ssh tunnel. so you could try sftp. get winscp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
