Looking a for simple file transfer software....

two non LAN computers

Floppy/USB/CD'/DVD shuffle :D

Good point, ovidiucucu. Although this can depend on the distance apart that the computers are. Anything beyond 85 feet could cause transfer errors.

If these computers are not in the same building/relatively close, you are stuck with TheCPUWizard's answer. And by USB, he means USB flash drive. But I am sure you knew that. ;)

Use an FTP server and a FTPFS file system or so.

Back to LAN.
Why?
Ftp is widely used for non-local networks...

Of course as soon as you plug it in you have a two node LAN :D
At last, looking at one computer and typing in another one is also a kind of file transfer and... a "network connection" is done.
Not very fast and reliable, of course... :D

Off-Topic -



In 1994, at a major book retailer's corporate headquarters, a person was actually employed to read e-mails off the AS-400 and type them back into the PC network's e-mail system (and the other way around). :eek:

Made some good money setting up a gateway between the environments... :D :D :D

The rest is just philosophy of running around LANs or NLANs (Non Local Area Networks). :D ;)

The maximum length of 100Base-T, UTP, is about 329 feet:

Transfer errors can be compensated for, especially if there are only a few. I've gone over 300 feet, before the connection was failing "spottedly" (of course, the business dept of the company I was working for couldn't figure out why all their machines dropped off the network).
