>From Wiki for non-native English (tentative) speakers (like me):

"Sneakernet is an informal term describing the transfer of electronic
information, especially computer files, by physically couriering
removable media such as magnetic tape, floppy disks, compact discs,
USB flash drives, or external hard drives from one computer to
another"
