Why bother using Terminal when you can just drag and drop the files from one machine to the other.
All you need to do is network the two machines together.
Or are you not telling the whole story?
P
me and my friend are in a band together and need to send recordings to eachother frequently. ichat is a pain; i use adium, and adiums file transfer doesnt work correctly. i read somehwere that the terminal was an easy way to to this. i may have heard wrong.
What size are these files??
Email out of the question.
Either of you have a .Mac account?
You could try one of the FTP clients that are out there. Transmit is a good one and it has a free trial period
