It depends on where are these files located... You could use some P2P program like kazaa, audiogalaxy or DC - this propgrams allows you to connect to other computer running the same program and download files. Other way is to use FTP client - with FTP client you could comfortably download upload files from FTP servers . I'm using the one that is included in wincommander and I'm satisfied with it. I hope this helps a little...
I'd sit comfortably with the Ftp Idea. Try setting up a ftp server on the home computer and simply use a client to trnasfer files through. You can send files through email, make websites, and use p2p programs such as Morpheus or Kazaa. I personally recommend ftp. It is a better known protocol and used widely by many people.
Kazaa, bad, baaaad!
Well, true I should have said that to use Kazaa Lite.
Forgot about IRC? ICQ? Trillian? And the other hundred IM programs?
FTP
heh not that i like using the word but sub7 >_<;
yes I know lame kiddiot tool but does allow for remote access to another computer - u can transfer files or set up an ftp server - and its free ;)

Sub7 works great forlegit ras if u uninstall it when finished or change the port it uses to many scanners out ther to find it
Hey look, an actual decent use for sub7. Theres a concept. Only good if set up properly though, so other people don't get access to your sub7 server.
What kind of connection do you have at home? If it is dial-up, then you probably don't want to use any of these. It would be best to burn the info to a cd, then carry it home. If you have a cable/dsl, then go with an ftp server of some type on your home computer. But it also depends on what os you are running. 9x, NT, 2k, or XP. I assume it is some Microsoft product. If you can name the OS, people may be able to give you recomendations of the exact server you should be using..... (Like don't use IIS 5.0, or any MS internet information server for that matter).
look at www.edonkey2000.com. After intall look at:
www.sharereactor.com for downloads
It works fine.
if you ask me go for ftp
if your using a linux or win2k box you already have an ftp server and every computer has an ftp client so why not ftp.
I agree with FTP as well. If this is a regular occurence and you don't want to set up a server just purchase a USB thumb drive. The prices have really dropped and it's a viable alternative to floppies and always burning a CD for smaller files.

FTP............ Hands down. A nice balance of security, usability, and speed.
yeah right, FTP's got the cake !
heres a idea also...
It sounds like u trying to transfer work files to ur home computer or at least 2 computers in 2 diff areas...
why not just get a CD burner and do it that way? its cheap and it has many uses and that way u can also burn urself some music to listen to on ur way ;)
I'll Go with FTP too.
