i need to send a big file 200Mb to my friends computer.

if he just types "ftp" on his computer, and i type "ftp 'his ip'" can i connect to him??

i tried and i got error "conection: unknown error number" . i mean it sounds logical, am i doin somethin wrong?

if so, whats the best way to send file using windows toolz??

i tried "hyper terminal" through "TCP/IP" but connection timed out, i think cause of large file size..

any good answers would be apperciated..

Nope you are wrong.
The first thing u need is an FTP Server app such as BPFTP Server, Serv-U FTPD or WarFTPD and many more (either you install FTP Server app or ur friend..need only one party).
Than if, for example, your friend has installed FTP Server app on his computer and has configured it in order to allow you, than what you need is browser or FTP client. If you wanna use browser, at address bar type: ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx:yy where x is IP number and Y is port number (normally port no. 21).
If you wanna use FTP client, I recommend you to use LeechFTP. Its free, easy to use and powerful. Get it at: http://stud.fh-heilbronn.de/~jdebis/leechftp/downloads.html
