Here's an easy way to use a 3rd computer/ftp-server to transer files from your local computer to the remote computer with a click, and both computers can be NATed as they will only act as clients.
1) Get an FTP account and add the directory: "transfer" to your ftp home 2) Create these directories on the local and remote computer: C:\transfer C:\transfer\send C:\transfer\receive 3) Make a file called "send.bat" and put inside that file (and change the ftp.server.com to your server): cd send ftp -s:..\send.txt ftp.server.com del /q *.* 4) Make a file called "receive.bat" and put inside that file (and change the ftp.server.com to your server): cd receive ftp -s:..\receive.txt ftp.server.com 5) Make a file called "send.txt" and put inside that file (change "username" and "password" with your ftp info): username password prompt cd transfer mput * by 6) Make a file called "receive.txt" and put inside that file (change "username" and "password" with your ftp info): username password prompt cd transfer mget * mdelete * by 7) Now put those 4 created files in C:\transfer When you want to send a file from your computer to the remote just copy (do copy just in case you have a backup) the file to C:\transfer\send and execute the "send.bat" file. At the remote computer, execute the "receive.bat" file, and the other way around. I have not run into any problems tranfering binary files and ascii files so I just leave it the default.
