Yesterday, I needed to transfer 5 GB of files from one PC to another. The usual and logic way to do this is to hook up to an Ethernet switch and share the required folders for the PC on the same network to retrieve. However, things did work that work because of SP2 personal firewall settings.
I tried a work around solution. I started an FTP server (Cerberus) on the PC holding the 5GB files that needed to be transferred out. The other PC run SmartFTP client to download the files. This seemed to be a better solution than sharing folders over the same network segment.
For those that have more than 2 PCs at home, they should have an FTP server to circumvent problem in sharing folders.
