Please advise how to transfer P2P a 30 GB file
I have two computers with Windows 10. Preferably the simplest option, so that at the other end people with minimal IT competence can figure it out

wyrmroot, Can we talk about how utterly absurd it is that there isn’t an obvious answer to this question yet? Feels like we’ve gone backwards from the AIM Direct Connect of old.
metaballism,
Trincapinones, For this things i use Simple Web Server
It’s just one executable and you have a fully running website with your files ready to download
Smokeydope, If all computers are on local network you can use warpinator.
hperrin, (edited ) Check out QuickDAV. I think it’s exactly what you’re looking for. If you’re going across the internet, you’d have to forward a port from your router. Otherwise, if you’re on the same network, it’s really simple.
Cort, I’ve used warp to transfer fairly large files across the country when I was on vacation
HybridSarcasm, Per rule #3, this seems to be a general home computing question and not centered around self-hosting. Please consider adding details to clarify how this involves self-hosting.
HarriPotero, I recommend wormhole.app for the purpose. Drag, drop, leave the tab open.
RootBeerGuy, Haven’t used it but it says right on the page you linked only up to 10 GB. Op wants 30 GB, I guess its not possible to split.
HarriPotero, I think that limit (previously 5GB) is for files that they’ll store for you. Larger transfers are P2P only.
BreakDecks, If you can RDP, just copy and paste the file from one computer to the other.
Twinklebreeze, Sneakernet was made for this exact situation.
willya, Maybe snapdrop.net
lntl, if they have minimal capacity for installing/configuring/using software, then sending a USB drive via the postal service should be a strong contender
mfat, ToffeeShare toffeeshare.com
possiblylinux127, Others have already said it but I would use localsend. Just make sure you have a good connection (preferability wired)
MangoPenguin, The easiest I’ve ever used is localsend.org
Very simple, just open it on both computers, select the file and click the other computer.
