How to upload files from one PC to another without internet

[venkatattaluri]

Hi,

I am trying to upload some big files from a PC connected to LAN port of a router to a PC connected to WAN port. Below is my setup.

LAN PC ------ RTR -------- WAN PC

LAN PC IP = 192.168.1.10; LAN RTR IP = 192.168.1.1;

WAN PC IP = 192.168.2.10; WAN RTR IP = 192.168.2.1; NAT enabled.

Need to Upload files from LAN PC to WAN PC

Could anyone help me in configuring such a setup.

What options are needed to be enabled while creating a tracker. And what services are required to run on the PCs. Is anything needed to be configured on the router.

Kindly help me in understanding this.

Thanks,

VA

Connect both PCs to LAN-port on the router and it should work.

And set local peer discovery ON

Oh and because of the two different subnets being used, set the subnet mask on BOTH machines to 255.255.0.0 NOT 255.255.255.0 so that IPs in subnet 192.168.1.n and subnet 192.168.2.n can communicate.

If you can connect from one PC to another in your scheme, then it shoudln't be hard to setup utorrent:

1) on LAN utorrent you need to enable local tracker in advanced options.

2) create torrent on LAN utorrent adding there tracker "http://192.168.1.10:12345/announce" where port 12345 is the port on Settings -> Connection. start seeding. The port need to be forwarded properly on the router and opened in firewall on LAN pc.

3) on WAN utorrent open created torrent and start downloading.

If something doesn't work, you can try also:

- disable IP filer in both utorrents (LAN and WAN)

- disable Web UI in LAN utorrent (so it will listen on porn from Settings ->Connection)

- add peer manually in WAN utorrent

See this for pictures (setting up alternative listen porn in Web UI is not necessary, but you can try it if you want).

add: another way: there is no need to enable local tracker on LAN if you will add peer (192.168.1.10:port) manually on WAN.

If Local Peer Discovery is on, enabling a local tracker is totally unecessary.

The port need to be forwarded properly on the router and opened in firewall on LAN pc.

Port Forwarding is ONLY required for routing data packets from the WAN to a machine inside the LAN.

That's why OP stated PC's are not in same LAN.

Port Forwarding is ONLY required for routing data packets from the WAN to a machine inside the LAN.

Which is exactly OP's situation.

However the question asked IS

How to upload files from one PC to another without internet

With the subnet masks set to sixteen bit (192.168.0.0/16) the two machine are in the same LAN so LPD (IP Multicasting) can be used.

But for that router interfaces LAN and WAN need to be reconfigured also and we don't know if it's acceptable for OP.

Why?

A router is simply a device that facilitates the connection of TWO networks. Of course the answers DO pre-suppose the the WAN port on venkatattaluri's router is NOT a DSL Modem WAN port.
