transfer of files in a trusted network such as home and if connection
is encrypted then it takes much more time because due to encryption
network latency increases so file transfer becomes slow.So I do not
want to use this method.
I have 2 laptops at home and some times watch movies or files from one
to other laptop at such times doing an ftp etc becomes irritating.
How ever in windows if I do I can simply drag and drop which is what I want.
