Easiest way to transfer files over web

Hi,
i am looking to write a prog that can upload files to a user, but i want there to be no need for specialised progs on the downloading pc (i.e. only mirc, browser etc) rather than a java compnent.
does anyone know of any simple way that java can act as a simple uploading server?
Many thanks

"As far as I know when the file goes from the server to the user it's called download and when the file goes from the user/client to the server it's called upload."
its the program thats uploading, and the client pc thats downloading yes.
The headers bit is all very well, but how do i make the program work as a server, this is the problem.
The program is not an applet.
The problem is getting it so that i can "browse" to the machine that the prog is running on and download a file when needed.
So the issue is, how do i get it so that if i type
http:\\127.0.0.1\test
in the address bar that a certain directory tress is shown browsable, and files downloadable
sorry if i'm not being very clear.
Mnay thanks

For small amount of files, a regular USB stick or drive, it's already formatted with a MBR and FAT32 most likely which works both on PC's and Mac's.
External drives if you need more space.
However FAT (or Fat32 or MSDOS) has a 4GB file size limit. So if your transfering files bigger than that then you need to format it exFAT on the Windows machine.
Vista and Win 7 can do this, Windows XP one can download a free exFAT upgrade from Microsoft.
Mac's can read/write the MBR and FAT/exFAT (10.6.5 and later) formats, it's best to format it on the Windows machine, even though the Mac can format it too, it's better to do it on Windows then take it to the Mac to confirm.
Rack your brain here on it.

What's the easiest way to transfer files to new mac?

My first mac was a Macbook (purchased in August 2010) and I'm upgrading to the new 13" Macbook Pro with retina display. What is the easiest way to:
1) transfer files to the new laptop
2) delete files off my old macbook to share with a family member--possibly thinking of return to factory settings.
I have a 1TB external hard drive and I use the cloud on all of my devices (also have iPhone and iPad synched to the cloud).

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
1. The best way to transfer files from another computer is by using Migration Assistant > http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html Your new MacBook Pro will ask you to restore from another computer during its initial setup.
2. If you haven't got a lot of apps you installed, you can just create a new user and delete the old one, so you won't have to reinstall Mac OS X.
To do it, open System Preferences > Users and Groups (or Accounts), press the + button and create an admin user. Then, log in this user, go to System Preferences > Users & Groups, and remove the old account

Easiest way to transfer files between two PCs?

There's a lot of stuff I'd like to transfer from my desktop to my laptop, but unfortunately sneakernet is out, as my pen drive is too small and the desktop can't burn CDs. However, the machines are currently on the same 100 Mbps LAN, and I've got a couple yards of USB cable if that proves necessary.
What I'd like to know is: what's the fastest and easiest way of transferring the files? Should I use SSH? Should I create an NFS volume and put everything on that?

Don't tell me you've never even tried using samba?!
Easy as pie, if you go with "security = share" insetead of "security = user". Less secure of course.
Look at this samba stanza (my misc share...);
[misc]
comment = read and write
path = /home/pelle/share
public = yes
writable = yes
force group = users
force user = pelle
complicated!? I think not.
[edit]you would of course have to mount this in the client fstab like this;
//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/misc /mnt/whatever cifs guest,ro
(or just use the kio/gnome-vfs smb:/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)[/edit]

Easiest way to transfer files larger than 4gb between mac and windows?

I just borrowed a windows laptop and formatted an external USB drive FAT32 and am able to transfer files from my Tiger OS Mac and the Windows 7 computer..but now I discover the maximum file size is 4GB. How could I transfer files (usually video) larger than that? Thanks for any help.

Set up a network and file sharing, or format the drive to Mac OS Extended and install the MacDrive trial on the PC, or format the drive to NTFS and install the NTFS-3G drivers on the Mac.

What's the easiest way to transfer files from an old Mac to a new one?

Alright, when I originally purchased my Macbook Pro in 2006 - I had no intentions on replacing for many, many years to come. However, purchased the 17", to have more screen space for design, and that career sort of fell through. I don't have a need for such a large display, and it gets very heavy when carrying it around. I've recently decided to opt for the 13" Macbook. Now my question is, what is the easiest, fastest, and safest was to transfer the files that I do want, from the old to the new? I considered buying an external hard-drive? And for that matter, once I do get everything transferred - does Mac offer anything where I can basically set the old on back to factory defaults?
Help is much appreciated.

In addition..........
If you have a High-speed connection, the easiest & fastest way is through AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) or any IM that has file transfers.
iChat has the same ability of transferring large files as AIM.

Adium has file transfers.
Yahoo Messenger has file transfers.
Both computers must use the same IM program for file transfers.

Easiest way to transfer files from Mac to Mac?

I have an external HD, but having some problems!
Is there any other ways, easier ways?
Connect them via a router?

It depends on what kind of data.
Document files alone you can transfer via any medium, as long as the applications which open the same documents are compatible with both Macs.
Applications are limited to the license agreement enforcement of the said application. Some are limited to scattered preference or font files.
Moving operating system level data between PowerPC and Intel Macs, see this tip:

Moving between Intel and Intel Mac, or PowerPC and PowerPC Mac, the Migration or Setup Assistant can help:

Depending on the size of the file, and the network strength, you can often move files using a small network:

Fastest and easiest way to transfer system & files G3 to G5

I have a G3 b&W with a 400 firewire card in it, and two basic ATA hard drives. Which would be easiest way to transfer 10.3.9 system (with classic) by means of Carbon Copy Cloner, and all files to a partition on the G5 Mac.
Since the G5 has 400 & 800 firewire, or ethernet transfer.
I think Migration Assistant will help with the transfer, but not sure wich way to go about this.
Berry

Hi Berry, to use CCC you need an older version for 10.3, version 2.3, because the B&W doesn't support FWTDM.
Put the G5 in FW Target Mode…
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Wait for the G5's HD to show up on B&W.
But, if perchance it's just Classic you need, you can Simply copy OS9's "System Folder" & "Applications OS9" over.

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

Following up on this thread,
I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
Question:
Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?

Best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one?

I just got a new Macbook Pro from Apple...YEEEEAAAHHHH!
So....
What's the best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one? I know Migration assistant, but is there a recommended way? I don't want to put do a system restore or transfer everything from the old laptop, but I do want to move important things like photos, music, documents and such over. Any suggestions on best way to do this?
Another question, perhaps subquestion. If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?
Just looking for hints from the experts so this puppy is set up in the best way possible.

Just one comment on this:
‘If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?’
the problems are ALWAYS in the reverse way, when you have the newest (or a newer) version of a given app, and wish to transfer its library to an older version.
Otherwise, see the link to Pondini.
I have been using Martin Jahn’s iBackup, with which I have become accustomed and works fine. It also makes daily backups. Its advantage over other apps is that you may add whatever you wish to save, beside its default settings (which you may delete or cancel, of course, even if not recommended); it also has a friendly interface and easily customizable. Of course, this is a personal view, you may try other methods as well, or other backup apps. All are good if you are satisfied and correspond to your needs.

Easiest way to transfer all Business Documents to another instance

We have to transfer all appraisal documents to another SAP instance. We know how to transfer all other parts except attachments (such as Excel sheets) of appraisal documents. These attachments are stored in Business Document Service (BC-SRV-BDS) with classname APPR_DOC.
What is the easiest way to transfer all such attachments (in other words, all business documents of type APPR_DOC) to another system?
For example, can transaction OAOR be used to transfer all documents easily? I have currently some authorization problems so that I can't test OAOR myself, and I am not sure whether you can easily select all documents for transport or do you have to do it one-by-one.
Another option would be to do the transfer via RFC, but it involves writing programs to both the source and destination instances.
Any other ideas?

If the music is already in iTunes and you want to organize it in a single file you con click under Advanced>Consolidate Library.
Otherwise if the music is not in iTunes yet, I believe it is necessary to do it manually, maybe try an automator workflow?
This is an example workflow that can help you:

I am not sure it will work, I recommend you to search in MacOs downloads sections also.

What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?

What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?
I have a Firewire cable and Thunderbolt adapter, but no icons showing either Mac appear on either desktop.

The fastest way is to use Carbon Copy Cloner and a external drive formatted GUID OS X Ext. J in Disk Utlilty, then connecting to the new Mac and using Migration Assistant in the Utilites folder.
Even faster, if you can determine your going to replace all the apps from fresh sources anyway (like if the older Mac's OS X verison is old thus the apps) then just use a external drive and copy just your files to it, then connect to the new Mac and transfer over.
Some apps you can just grab the registration code and install it fresh on the new machine with the old code, talk to the developer about transfering the program, as long as it's deleted on the older Mac in the process.
It used to be Firewire Target disk mode was fastest, but since Thunderbolt came out...
Notice this support doc hasn't been updated since june 2012, no Thunderbolt info

Is there a way to transfer files from a mac-book to another computer?

I need to get files off of my damaged Macbook and I'm not sure how to do it. Is there a way to transfer files from my macbook to another computer? The damage is to the screen of my macbook and it is severe- you can only see the top left of screen, the rest is cracked/blacked out. Is there anything I can do?

If the MacBook has a FireWire port, hook it and the other computer up with a FireWire cable, start up the MacBook with the T key held down, and copy the files off.

What is the easiest way to transfer a large imovie project from one computer to another in a different location.

What is the easiest way to transfer an faairly large HD imovie project from one computer to another in a different location. Can you export to drop box? Will the other computer need the exact imovie version?

OK it depends.
If you have a finished movie, you can SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and create your final movie. Then, depending on the size of the finished movie, you can transfer via dropbox or similar service. Ninety minutes is a very long movie for iMovie, but it may work for you. I would suggest 720P to keep the size down.
If you need to transfer the entire iMovie Project so it can be edited in iMovie at the other end, then you need to transfer the project and event assets to an external hard drive and get the hard drive to the other location.
Directions are here. Follow the directions for 1) Moving or copying Project to external drive. Then 2) Consolidate Media.

Remove the hard drive and get one of these USB hard drive adapters. http://tinyurl.com/a5l2htj Then plug the adapter into your iMac to see/retrieve the files.
