Dialing into a PC using DSL

[Frank A. Avila]

I posted this message last week and I am reposting it
just to see if I can get any different ideas:

I am trying to dial into another computer to exchange a
couple of large files. First off I need to know if it
possible to use DSL to dial from one PC to another that
also has DSL.

I know about PCAnywhere but I do not want to control the
desktop of the other PC. I have used a 56k to dial into
computers to download files. I am using Windows XP on
both of the computers and both have DSL.

If it is possible to set up windows to dial in using a
dsl line please let me know how because I have been
racking my brain on it. And if there is some other
software that is available please let me know.

Thanks,

Frank A. Avila

First Response from Gerrit (Thanks for the help):

Well the only way I know of doing this the way you want
is if the other desktop is running an FTP and you have
Write permissions to it...otherwise I would say use
the 'Remote Desktop' utility inside Windows XP. Navigate
to Start-> All Programs-> Accessories-> Communications->
Remote Desktop Connection...youll need to know the
username and password of the user on the computer that
you're connecting to. If the other computer is behind a
router, you'll need to forward port 3389...Hope this
helps!

not knowing your setup it is hard to advise, lets say computer with file is
(A) and has XPh or P you would first want to setup an incoming connection in
network connections. Next share the file you want to get easyest way is to
hare the drive and specify who can access it. next you connect to (A) by way
of modem or internet you should be able to browse and copy file and paste to
yours or map the drive in my computer and copy to yours.
