I forgot another option one has.
If netbeui is installed, all you have to do is have a partition shared
with a password on it and tell your friend the password and ip and he
can transfer direct in and out.... No need for a server as he will be
part of your network...
So can anyone else obviously who knows the password or they will try
if they discover with scanning that netbeui is installed with sharing.
Courtesy of MS (g). Totally legal and from what was found with security
checks last year was that probably quite a few systems on line
would be a direct walk in with the greatest danger being picking up
a virus infection... Which is why without a network card netbeui
shouldnt be installed, as it slows things down and its a gaping
security hole if resources are shared... especially as most people
never set a password.
