http://crunchbanglinux.org – I need to transfer a large amount of data (over 20 GB) from laptop to desktop. Through creating  a LAN between'em. I have a regular ethernet rj45 cable. Thus it should be simple - connect'em between each other with the cable and do the transfer, right? How do I do that? Establishing a lan through internet is not an option, as the speed is ridiculous (80-150KB/s) Most prolly I do something not right, I just can't figure. Thanks in advance. (HowTos)

Okay, so as the title says, I need to transfer files from computer to computer(laptop-desktop, both have Ubuntu 11.10 installed) without internet.

Ethernet cable faster than Wifi? 44 weeks 22 hours ago

I've got an Ubuntu* desktop, a windows XP laptop, a length of Cat5e Ethernet cable (y'know, the one with the squarish plug, usually blue, modern Internet connections use it), and no internet.

I've got to transfer a big bunch of files (Most of the laptop's hard drive, more than 50GB) over the cable to the desktop, into a specific directory.

We have just moved into a new office and have been given our 'internet connection' in the following form:

One Ethernet cable in the corner of the room An IP address with subnet mask 255.255.255.0

We have several computers, and are wanting to set up a simple LAN, all with internet access.

Hi all,

We have a requirement to transfer large files from Cosa Rica to our data center in EU. Files themselves are about 2GB each, and we need to transfer approximately 1 to 2TB per day.

Currently, we're considering GridFTP, UDT and FDT for file transfer. The problem with this quantity though, is the internet connection availability in Costa Rica.
