I need a software that i can use to transfer files from one windows PC to another over the LAN network.

I've tried "Quick'n Easy FTP server Lite" and it works, but its really slow (About 2MB/s) ( i know my hardware can go much faster than the software is allowing). But at least the speeds were constant and unchanging.

I have also tried Windows Easy Transfer. But that software makes it a bit harder to send back and for whenever i feel like it, and although sometime i would hit speeds 5 times faster than with the previously mentioned software (about 12MB/s) , those speeds were not constant. It would be slow (around 1MB/s) and then spike up, and then go back down, and repeat in that fashion.

Is there a better software that i can use to send large files over my LAN network faster?

CIFS? Robocopy works well with this protocol.

Thanks for the info. However i have no idea how to use this.

It doesn't appear to be a software like the other 2 i mentioned. from what i googled it appears to be a command line type program?

never mind. Windows Homegroup works WAY better than anything iv tried so far. And its really easy to use. Makes me wonder why iv never used it before...

make your web home directory to list files, copy files there,
access via web browser by ip.

I do this to get e-books on my tablet.
