just get yourself a portable harddrive and put all of the movies on there and then take it to your computer

english please

That is english. A protocol is a practice/method. Transferring is transferring. Files are files. It's a practice/method for moving files. In this case, the practice relates to the network. there are other protocols (HTTP, which has you on this site, for example).

1. Find some very cheap or free file hosting
2. Download what's called an FTP client which allows you to use FTP
3. Transfer Files on the Protocol

Google it next time

Just use a usb cable or a netowrk cable if your a computer newbie and then access the laptop like another drive.

^^ if that will work, that will be the easiest way i would think. i have a 2 gb flash drive. might have to do one movie at a time.... but fuck it.

sharing folders would be easy too

thanks guys

sharing folders would be the fastest, easiest method. and if you ahve a 360 you can connect it to the computer with movies and watch in your tv.

If you're doing computer to computer USB cable is not the way to go, because then you'd have to install NetBEUI and more crap that the poor guy probably could not do, not to mention the terrible overhead involved in a USB data transfer.
