Story: computer (with Win98) I left at some place does few things, logging and downloading small & rare files, which I upload to where I am quickly via FTP once needed (it has Filezilla server running...). This wasn't a problem because it was connected directly to net, via USB DSL "modem".
However in a week it'll start to use near city-wide "LAN". In some ways this would allow for much more - uploads to the Internet are very fast (because there's not much use of this part of bandwith), so the machine could download also some huge files, which I could quickly upload & burn in cafe at uni. But there's no way I could use FTP/HTTP for this - no external IP and no way to set port forwarding...
So...is there a solution? Only file transfer, nothing more.
The funny thing is...there are programs that at least almost can do what I want. I was directed at some solutions that use e-mail or IM like transfer together with communication via IM protocol to see file structure...among other things . Yes, trojans. But there are reasons not to use them...not only I don't trust them to not allow anybody else in, but also I'd like to keep running antivirus (Panda...) on the system and...those trojans are total bloatware (not only useless/dangerous features...why are they written in Delphi typically? ). Only good thing - they're invisible, as is Filezilla server now (less chance that somebody will fvck it totally...)
Too bad I can't do programming...with clear, simple vision and all libraries at hand this shouldn't be that hard to create...so perhaps someone did it?
