How do you Copy Files between Systems?

This is a most common task that everyone of us does on regular basis, and here are the most common ways of copying or transferring files between systems:

• Copy files using a USB Flash drive
• If the systems are on network, share folders and copy files.
• Using a CD/DVD to copy files.
• If available, using a floppy to copy small files.

Everyone of us must have used at least one or all of the above ways to copy files between systems. But what if the systems that you want to copy files do not have USB ports, are on the network but you can not share folders and doesn’t even has a CD drive? How do you think you will copy files between them? Let’s look at a different way of copying files between systems.
