How do transfer files between my computers over internet?

My computers are in different locations. I want to transfer files between these computers on networking over internet without any help of website

If the files are small, just email them.



-or- use a file hosting service like DivShare / YouSendIt



-or- use FTP to upload the files on your company's web-server and download it on the other computer using FTP.



-or- setup a FTP server on one of the computers and move the files you want to share into the FTP files directory. Login to the FTP server computer over the Internet using a FTP client from the other computer and download the files



-or- use a VPN (for ex: Hamachi) to setup a Private Network over the Internet and transfer the file using Network Neighbourhood. This option is quite complicated and very slow though.

one way is to use VNC with file transfer capabilities
Pick your pick (not a shovel*):



HTTP



HTTPS



FTP



SFTP



BitTorrent



emule



scp



Once you have decided what protocol you want to use, just get a daemon (server) on one of your machines, and a client on the other machine. Fire away the transfer and you'll be good.



Notice that some of these protocols are insecure (not encrypted) so if you transfer passwords and/or other confidential information over them they will be visible to any attacker. Also notice that some of these protocols do not use a server-client communication specification.
