-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I gather from the Hamachi comment that you're trying to do this over the internet, and not a lan or something like that though the same thing would apply. I can think of a few ways to do this, listed below. I'm assuming you're looking for resume capability due to the size of these files, and that you have, or can get, some basic familiarity with command lines.
1. One of you sets up an ssh server with access to the files you want to transfer - either on the same account if you trust the other person enough not to go snooping, or to another account with the appropriate permissions set up. Once done, you can use rsync to transfer files over that ssh connection, with optional bandwidth control so your upstream isn't completely swamped. OS X has a built-in ssh server, and I'm pretty sure it comes with rsync. 2. Find a mac ftp server and use that. Depending on how advanced your ftp server of choice is, it may or may not support encryption. It looks like OS X already has one built in, though it's probably limited. 3. Set up a web server with access to the files and use something like wget -c to resume downloads. The disadvantage of this is that web servers only go one way - if you had one set up, the other person couldn't send you stuff, only receive from you - you'd need one on the other end.
