How to FTP ?

How do you send or recieve big files, say Vista 64bit ISO file between
home PC users.

Duh I know they are too big for email attachment, I have never sent
anything bigger than a 15MB email attachment.

Is it by using "ftp" or "webfolders" only?

I think XP has something called "ftp" built-in somewhere?

Anyone got a link for beginners on how to do it?

Some home PC users internet speeds are 24mbps download and
2mbps upload thats pretty good, others are much slower, does the
individual home users differing internet speeds matter much?

Sorry I don't know much about computers, except basic office and a bit
of simple video editing.

Server is "send" and client is "recieve" right?

Remember there have to be some dumb people in the world to make the rest
look cleaver :) LOL

1 File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
A member of the TCP/IP suite of protocols, used to copy files between two
computers on the Internet. Both computers must support their respective FTP
roles: one must be an FTP client and the other an FTP server.


2 Web Folders
Using Web Folders to view and transfer files, folders, and other information
to a Web server offers you a more secure computing experience.

Web Folders transfer information over a network connection to a remote Web
server, but can use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to help protect
information as it is being transmitted. (It is not a requirement for Web
Folders to use SSL, but it is recommended.)

Using SSL with Web Folders requires that the Web server also supports SSL.
Web Folders also support Windows authentication (a method for helping to
verify the identity of a user), which can help protect your password when you
are logging on to a Web server that also supports Windows authentication.

If a Web server supports the SSL protocol, the Internet address for the
server will begin with https:// instead of http://.


3 Virtual Private Network (VPN) FTP.
Files can be tunnelled in a VPN when using ftp for a more secure connection
than using open ftp.?
