One thing people often ask for in the labs is how to transfer a file from one computer to another. There are many ways to do this indeed, but what I see students doing most often is emailing the file to themselves. This solves several problems, but is not elegant. It creates a backup copy apart from their own hardware, but there are size limits to backups.
Other suggestions I've offered, depending on the situation:
- anonymous ftp
- thumb drive
- boot the mac into target disk mode
- burn a DVD/CD
- network shared drive
- drop.io (RIP)
- large file transfer services (bigupload, etc)
- dropbox, etc
One that I just heard about it
ge.tt. No downloads, extensions, few limits and it appears dead simple.
