#139176 - 02/02/2003 01:44 Sharing Files over a router?
Banacek journeyman Registered: 28/03/2002 Posts: 94	So I want to be able to send files to my roommates computer over the router we have set up to share the cable modem. Anyone have any ideas on the easiest way to do this without having to share folders? We're both using Win2k. Thanks!

Banacek journeyman Registered: 28/03/2002 Posts: 94	Yeah, there's size limits on both our emails.. AIM was so easy too, I wish I could get it working...

FTP or SCP would be the standards and I'm sure you can find a simple windows server for either. Matthew

Because if one of the machines got infected with a worm/virus/trojan then the other one would quickly get infected (because they would have write access to shares on each other's machines).
