Yes i was thinking on ftp too, the problem is the other side, but i give it a try.
Thanks Thomas.
iirc, ftp is more efficient/faster. also it can resume (not sure if samba can). there is an excellent, free and simple ftp server for windows called freeFTPd :
http://www.freesshd.com/its small and easily configured. I'd suggest using some port other than standard ones for some extra security.
btw, do windows shares even work on internet without vlan?
