This isn't a free solution, but one piece of software I have been using for more than a decade is FastLynx (not the ISP). Their $50 package includes the two-way USB. If you want to save money, you can get a cheaper package with just serial and parallel cables.The software is specifically designed for computer-to-computer transfers. One side has a graphical interface that displays navigable directories in both computers, and the other has a slave which does what the other package tells it to do.Simple, but very effective for file transfers. Especially for older computers that don't have USB connectors.Full disclosure: I was a beta-tester for the USB version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yordan 10 Report post Posted November 27, 2008 For the old computers which have no usb nor Ethernet connexion, some very old people amongst us could remember kermit.kermit is the first free file transfer protocol.On each computer you defined kermit's adapter (usually it was com2: because com1: was used by the mouse).On on computer you start kermit in server mode. You simply type "kermit" in a dos box, and at the kermit prompt you type "server".On the other computer you star kermit, and then you type mget or mput.
