you could also burn a CD data disc or DVD data disc.

huh the only other way is over the network. are they on the same network?

EDIT: could you possibly split up the file?

Use a firewire cable and restart your Mac in the "Target Disk" Mode from sys pref|Startup Disk.

Use WiFi

Use Ethernet cable through router

Use Crossover Cable

Borrow a larger flash drive from neighbor

Buy a 2GB flash drive. It only costs $3 these days!!

Multi part archive uploaded to megaupload or rapidshare or sendspace?

Unless you live in the boondocks, it will probably be quicker to drive to a store, buy a realistically sized usb stick (512Mb is tiny these days) , and use that.

my god, if they are both on the same network just connect to the mac from the windows machine.

go to system prefs->sharing:
• turn on file sharing
• hit options in the file sharing area
• tick the bottom button "share files and folders using SMB"
• tick your account name
• use istat or something similar to get your IP of the mac (or go to the network system preferences and it will tell you when you select the network interface you are currently using)
• go to your windows machine
• open My Computer
• Tools->Map to network drive
• type \\yourip (e.g. \\192.168.0.1)
• type in the passwords and blaablaa..
• navigate and copy.

Turning on SMB sharing will turn your account password hashes into an SMB-compatible format, which can be cracked in seconds.

If the two computers are on the same network, go to the PC and turn its file sharing on with write access. Connect to it from your Mac and transfer the file.

what is your point and or relevance to this?? if your computer is on the internet or even turned on, it can be hacked.. that is the risk we take... do we care?? no, chances are slim.

oh oh and what other ways do you suggest then? appart from doing it the loooong way

Ah, Mac users and their complacency about security

I wanted to let the OP know that there is a significant downside to enabling SMB sharing.

Try using MacHacha to break the file into multiple pieces.
