I need to find a program that can make a direct connection between 2 remote PCs, so that I and my friends can transfer files (huge files,heh) between each other. By direct connection I mean that no external servers should be used, transfer speed is of the essence. Don't know if it matters or not, but the PCs are very close geographically.

So what is the best solution ? (plz don't recommend setting up a ftp server)

Well if you get the enterprise or personal edition of VNC it supports file xfering. Theres IRC, there was another but I'll have to find out what that was.

uh
vnc is the worst possible way to transfer files
it's designed for remote desktop control, not filetransfer

i would just setup ftp servers
or use IM that tranfers the files directly
most do anyway
or you could use utorrent or other properly capable software to make a private torrent
but ftp is really the best overall solution

Try Hamachi it will do the job. The transfer speed will be as fast as the connection you and your friends have. https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/

i7 3770k, GTX980, 16GB Ram, SSD Raid0, Internet 3rd world shit not worth mentioning

LOL !!!!

About Hamachi: We used it, even played some Halo, but the file transfer speed was unbelievably slow. And I mean SLOW !

About VNC: It looks like a convoluted mess, don't have the time to learn to use that.

About ftp server: We have both setup ftp servers a long time ago, but this time I don't know ... the port mapping bullshit got the better of us. Networking is not in my sphere of interest

About a private torrent: How the f00k can I make a private torrent ? Hadn't thought of that.

About IMs: Which IMs support direct file transfer of huge files ?

P.S.: Why can't there be a magic little program to set it up to "wait" for a connection, then the other guy uses it from his PC to connect ?

EDIT: I have to remember to ask that luzer if he had utorrent open while we were testing the transfer rate, maybe that's why it was so slow ?
