I used to share files of relatively large size (+/-50MB) with a small group of friends a few years back. Primarily mp3 rips of radio broadcasts. It's been a while and am curious if this still an available feature of AIM, YIM, MSN, ICQ or other?
Anyone have recent experience with anything similar? Any recommendations, suggestions, advice, opinions? Which is best? Which is worst? Pros/cons of each or any?

depeding on what you're doing and the legality of it, i'd say look at http://www.archive.org they've got a great setup for legally sharable concerts, radio recorrdings, etc.

Contrary to common civilian opinion, it's a doddle to share files inside most prisons.

From what I understand (I haven't really looked into it that closely), Archive.org publishes with permission from bands (and other sources) that want people to download their stuff - note that you will find only live shows, not CD's.

I'm looking more for a way to make what I have available than to get what others have.

Try Abyss Webserver,or an FTP server.You can make usernames and passwords for whomever you want to have access.
FTP is more secure in case you didn`t know.

Oh...I get it. ^what smokey says; use password protected FTP. You should be able to set that up on your home machine without much trouble - just give your friends your current IP address. What OS are you using?

Vas is like the opposite of help.
barch - I use Gaim, a multi IM app. (Trillian is a pain in the neck) Just make sure the person you're connecting to also has gaim or sometimes the whole thing fails miserably. The file can be as large as you want.
I think ICQ's interface still allows this file sharing as well but I haven't used ICQ since college, which was only three years ago, but relatively a long time for me.
What else...telnet you can get on someones pc by using this technique that I totally ripped instructions straigt from some dudes web site.
________________________________________________________
** The command-line approach **
Okay, now for the part that should probably be titled "How they do it". All that is needed is the IP address of the remote machine. Now open up a DOS window, and at the command prompt, type:
c:>nbtstat -A [ip_addr]
If the remote machine is connected to the Internet and the ports used for sharing are not blocked, you should see something like:
NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table
Name Type Status
---------------------------------------------
NAME <00> UNIQUE Registered
DOMAIN <00> GROUP Registered
NAME <03> UNIQUE Registered
USERNAME <03> UNIQUE Registered
MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00
This machine name table shows the machine and domain names, a logged-on username, and the address of the Ethernet adapter (the information has been obfuscated for instructional purposes).
**Note: This machine, if unpatched and not protected with a firewall or packet-filter router, may be vulnerable to a range of denial of service attacks, which seem to be fairly popular, largely because they require no skill or knowledge to perpetrate.
The key piece of information that you are looking for is in the Type column. A machine that has sharing enabled will have a hex code of "<20>".
**Note: With the right tools, it is fairly simple for a sysadmin to write a batch file that combs a subnet or her entire network, looking for client machines with sharing enabled. This batch file can then be run at specific times...every day at 2:00 am, only on Friday evenings or weekends, etc.
If you find a machine with sharing enabled, the next thing to do is type the following command:
c:>net view \[ip_addr]
Now, your response may be varied. You may find that there are no shares on the list, or that there are several shares available. Choose which share you would like to connect to, and type the command:
c:>net use g: \[ip_addr][share_name]
You will likely get a response that the command was completed successfully. If that is the case, type:
c:>cd g:
or which ever device name you decided to use. You can now view what exists on that share using the dir commands, etc.
Now, you may be presented with a password prompt when you ssue the above command. If that is the case, typical "hacker" (I shudder at that term) methods may be used.
** The GUI approach **
After issuing the nbtstat command, you can opt for the GUI approach to accessing the shares on that machine. To do so, make sure that you leave the DOS window open, or minimized...don't close it. Now, use Notepad to open this file:
c:windowslmhosts.sam
Read over the file, and then open create another file in Notepad, called simply "Lmhosts", without an extension. The file should contain the IP address of the host, the NetBIOS name of the host (from the nbtstat command), and #PRE, separated by tabs. Once you have added this information, save it, and minimize the window. In the DOS command window, type:
c:>nbtstat -R
This command reloads the cache from the Lmhosts file you just created.
Now, click on Start -> Find -> Computer, and type in the NetBIOS name of the computer...the same one you added to the lmhosts file. If your attempt to connect to the machine is successful, you should be presented with a window containing the available shares. You may be presented with a password prompt window, but again, typical "hacker" (again, that term grates on me like fingernails on a chalk board, but today, it seems that it's all folks understand) techniques may be used to break the password
------------------------------------------------------------
Now since YOU are "sharing" files, you shouldn't need to break into the persons computer to get at what you want.
That's all I got.

barch, you mean like using maketorrent and uploading the torrent to a public/private tracker and then seeding with your client?

Haha. Vas is like the opposite of not toying with Barch.
I snipped all the helpful garbage you posted about telnet and NetBIOS.
Now how bout you post three or four more ways to not get around your employer's Internet restrictions? ("But it WORKS!", he posts, in the clear and over the company wire.)
Barch: Clavis and Kahuna were playing with BadBlue, and while I didn't care for it, it seemed to work for them, and it may work for you. It's a tiny Windows webserver that you don't need to configure much (or at all), and allows for password-protecting. This is probably your best bet, cause everyone has a browser and knows how to click on links.

AIM lets you have a shared directory. trillian does not let you use this aim feature.

See it wasn't that hard to be helpful! Now help me figure out how to actually get around my employers net restrictions AND not get fired.
WTF happened to my last post?? and yours. ITs all weird.
