Is there a way to get 30 GB files through the net ...



Hi all,

I am in a bit of weird situation. I am running a dual boot system. I
need to be able to let someone I know but lives far be able to upload
30 GB or so of data to my PC or download stuff off of it. I also need
to be able to get it all to the windows side. Yeah, I know you don't
like win, but it is a must in this situation.

I also need a good solution (not just a quick fix) as I might have to
get those 30 GB back and forth to my friend quite a few times.

I thought about ftp. I could run an ftp server on my debian side (I
chose to stick with linux on this part as it is way more secure). I
started looking at vsftpd, but I just thought about something. The only
way I can share files between the OSs is through FAT32 disks. But those
only support files up to 4GB. So I'm in trouble.

Any thoughts? Any docs talking about a similar issue? Any sites you
would know that can help me?

Thx,
ib
