Martin,
That would depend on the size of the file, how sensitive the information
is, and if both machines are connected to the internet (or at least have
e-mail capabilities) If you do have full internet access on both machines
and you are not dealing with highly confidential info then ftp would be the
best way to go (or, better yet, set up a mirror that way info should be
constantly up to date).  If you have e-mail access then e-mail would be
your best bet.
ppp will work if you have no internet access and/or your info is
classified.

Is PPP the correct route to take?
