[Hidden-tech] best LARGE file transfer method

[Chris Hart, MyMacTech.com]

You're being pretty vague about why you're ruling out some existing, popular
solutions.  Because private Torrents are how I would probably do this.

But pressed for alternatives, I would first try Skype, which I believe has
no size limit on file transfers....

http://www.skype.com

Or, I would.... setup an FTP server on one (or both) of the systems...

* Mac ftp server...
- you can use the built-in FTP server (it's kind of hidden, but it's there)
- or Crush FTP server, which is also available for Windows
https://www.crushftp.com/pricing.html
- or this FTP server for Windows...
https://filezilla-project.org

Some more alternatives....

* Team Viewer  (not aware of a file size limit, but there might be one).

* Droplr

* Gigasize  (costs a few bucks, but has no file size restrictions)
http://www.gigasize.com

Some Windows-only solutions I found, but have no experience with:
* CC
http://www.cc-file-transfer.com

*File Transfer

Any one have a tip or two on how best to transfer 50+GB across the
interwaves that won't take 4 days on one's computer? No, not dropbox or
Google anything, nor uTorrent or AirDrop or any of those things we assume
works fine. The issue really is up/downloading speeds....

Thanks, Kris
