Need to connect 2 PC's together which are different part of the world to download huge amount of data

[mutluturk]

Hi guys!
We need to move 100GB of data from Los Angeles to Turkey. Uploading the whole data to dropbox takes lots of time so we think we may burn it on couple blurays and send it by fedex but it is not that practical either.
So how about peer to peer connection? Or using our PC at LA as a server so the other side can download the data quickly? Which software we need to use? How to set up such a configuration? What kind of speed we should expect? Or any other suggestion? What will be our best bet? If you please explain to me like I know very limited about networking, I really appreciate. Thanks!!

You could purchase a HDD and just post that over if you don't have fast enough upload or download speed.
What upload speed does the Los Angeles PC have?

External HDD, FEDEX (or DHL), overnight.
Done.

You could mess about with an FTP server, or possibly a VPN. But unless this is an ongoing requirement....mail it.

I think it will be kinda ongoing requirement. We need to transfer more data back and forth in some near future.

Is this an ongoing requirement? Do you have to do this more than once?

Obtain or build another PC. Doesn't have to be powerful.
Install Linux as the OS. Any distro will do
Set up the FTP service
Set up a DMZ in your router
Port forward through your router, to that Linux box
Give the people in Turkey the IP address, and go.

How 'fast' will it be? Unknown.

I see. So there is no `windows` way to do it? Without the 3rd PC? like a homegroup in windows, but based on ip to connect over the web? or like using a software for example like bittorent I don't know.. just guessing..

I mentioned 'another pc', simply because you don't want your main system(s) exposed to the outside world in the DMZ.
You could try a torrent, but it won't be especially fast, due to there being only one seed source.

Or, a paid webserver somewhere, that provides enough storage space and bandwidth. Upload your 100GB data, the people in Turkey downloads it from there.

More money, but you leave the security aspect to the provider.
