I force all my homies to use magic-wormhole. It can transfer files and folders with no sign-up and (as far as I can tell) no limits.
For all you command-line nerds, including on Windows, it works like this:
> wormhole send <filename>
Sending 0 Bytes file named '<filename>'
Wormhole code is: 1-medusa-puppy
On the other computer, please run:
wormhole receive 1-medusa-puppy
This will ping the relay server, which defaults to Canonical on my system, as I recall, to generate a code so the two computers can locate each other.
Then on the other computer, (again including Windows,)
> wormhole receive 1-medusa-puppy
Waiting for sender...
Receiving file (0 Bytes) into: '<filename>'
ok? (Y/n): y
Receiving (->tcp:192.168.1.1:36587)..
0.00B [00:00, 4B/s]
Received file written to <filename>
Note that, as both computers were on the same LAN, it transferred locally because it's awesome that way.
Working as a TA in the computer science department, this is invaluable. Students from all skill levels can transfer stuff with no extra headache, and the generated codes can be spoken aloud for simplicity.
You wrote you did this on LAN but it would work as well over IP?
Meanwhile, my backup strategy:
Floppy discs are certainly the cutest of the storage formats. If they made a 1 TB floppy, I'd go back lol.
Just buy 700,000 floppies from wholesale
I sure hope your homies don't store valuable data on flash drives
I sure hope they don't store valuable data without redundant backups, regardless of the storage format
I always keep a backup of my important files on a encrypted USB drive.
