How to transfer large files between distant computers through internet network with firewalls

If you need to transfer a big file(s) from one computer to another one, there are 2 different approaches:

1. In 2 stages. The most and intuitive method is: firstly upload from 1st computer to somewhere in internet and secondly download from that place to 2nd computer. These methods include sending by e-mail (workable only for lightweight files, few Mb) and uploading & downloading with megaupload/rapidshare like online services.
   Disadvantages: slow method (in traditional ADSL home-connections, upload’s bandwith is usually not large).
2. Directly way. This method is the fastest (2nd computer download immediately your file) but it’s normally a hard-way to do. Often you can’t open the ports in your router(s) and you can’t make your FTP/HTTP server visibile from 2nd computer with your public IP address. Besides that, you can transfers via Skype/Msn messenger, but these usually aren’t performative methods.

Actually, there is a simple method to join advantages of both these two pproaches: Bittorrent !

Using bittorrent network you are able to send any files to any other computers. You only have to send separately a torrent file (that contains the file description and your the torrent link info) to the 2nd computer, and thelatter can immediately download the file from the 1st computer using the maximium speed allowed. You can also send your files to more computers and exploit P2P advantages (each peer downloads from each other peer). Pay attention to your client configuration (in the 1st computer) about connection settings (NAT-PMP mapping, upload bandwith).

Torrent file is easily made from bittorrent client software, for example the excellent lightweight free and no-install uTorrent. Procedure: From the menu list, select “file” and “make a torrent from your file(s)”, then “send” the “.torrent file” (only few Kb) just made to the 2nd computer (that obviously has also a bittorrent client).

Enjoy !

Subversion overview

Subversion (SVN) [wiki] is an excellent version control sytem software. It’s open source and the official website [open] presents, in addition to the source code, the free clients for Windows, MAC OS X, KDE and some IDEs (Eclipse, Netbeans, Visual studio).

Version control (and Backup)

Commonly used in software development, it allows to backup and retrieve our datas maintaing all the versions of all the files (no more overwriting problems). It’s possibile to backup data to a local folder, or to an online space using different network protocols. There are lots of free svn hosting online, google “free svn hosting”.
Read the wikipedia page for more information.

Tutorial for Windows

Following, a brief tutorial to use TortoiseSVN (Windows client) and versioning our files, using an online hosting

• Download, setup TortoiseSVN and restart Windows;
• Register a SVN free account (You can use x-dev, it offers 500Mb space for free), make a new repository and obtain the url;
• Create a temporary folder X:\temp and place the initial data to backup
  Right click on the folder and choose TortoiseSVN->Import
  insert the URL (ex: http://svn2.xp-dev.com/svn/user-projname/
  and user/password when asked (it copies the folders and its contents online) ;
• Create the folder (final path) X:\folder-to-maintain-synchronized
  Right click on the folder, then SVNCheckout (Checkout: FROM online resource TO local folder);
  Choose the above-mentioned url (Tortoise remembers all the urls) and wait for the end. The folder icon should be different (white tick in a green circle over the folder icon) now;
• From now the folder X:\folder-to-maintain-synchronized will magically be kept synchronized, by using two simple Tortoise commands:
  - Right click, SVN Commit.. (copy new files FROM local TO online)
  - Right click, SVN Update (copy FROM online TO local).
  Be careful to use the second command, it’s commonly used when we’ve commited from another folder or another person has done it.
  To maintain the synchronization, delete or move files ONLY USING TortoiseSVN. And add new files added using the command “Add”.

For further information, google “svn tutorial” !
