Hey guys !
i have been recently told that you can tranfer a file from one pc to another via cmd (not lan).
so i want to ask if this is possible and if yes how can i do it !
what is the command

thanks in advance
 
Cmd is an application with which to access your computers resources. Just like the windows explorer you usually use.

Cmd in itself only provides you access to programs you can use to transfer data. Windows has an command line ftp client build in. So that could be used. But then you'd have to setup your own ftp server.

What excactly are you trying to acomplish?
 
I am trying to send a file from my computer to another computer using cmd .
When I type the command "open ftp.isp domain of the host.com ,it asks a username and a password ! I type the username and the password but it doesn't connect ! And the username and the password are correct
 
You're missing my point. Right now you're trying to send a file using a ftp client to another computer. Blindly assuming the other computer has a ftp server setup. If you didn't set this up, it isn't there.

But i'm guessing you're trying to accomplish something using stuff that isn't really intended for that. So i'll ask again, can you describe in detail what you are trying to accomplish?
 
what should i do to set up a ftp server??
sorry but i dont understand exactly what do you mean with this question..i told you i am trying to figure out how can i send i file with cmd or ftp

I'll make it easy on you. There isn't any way i know to send files through cmd over the internet. At least not by default. You can use ftp to send something through windows cmd. But then you'd have to setup a ftp server. You could use filezilla server. Just google for tutorials.

And you still haven't really told me what you're trying to accomplish... You are just telling what you think is the solution to your problem. But you are not telling the actual problem. Because i think there are much much easier ways to accomplish what you are trying.

He said he wanted to transfer files between computers and mentioned it wasn't over lan. So i'm guessing there's a reasonable large distance between the computers. Anyway i wouldn't want to transfer the usb from one location to the other just to transfer some data. That's what networks are made for.
 
I just wanted to know if transfering files through cmd is possible and I found out that it is ! Thanks for your help all of you!! Really !
Now,can I trace the ip of one computer (non lan connected) through command line ?
