I hath two laptops. I need to transfer lots o' gigs o' Stuff from one t' the other. Herein lies the problem - I have no flash drives nor external HDs with which to facilitate this transfer. So how can I accomplish this Herculean task?

or ... a cross over network cable - difference being no fancy software to make it easy, you have to do all the file transfer

Are they Macs with wifi, by any chance? If so, you just need to run Migration Assistant (and be patient).

Can you network them? Moving files may take a while, but it's definitely doable.

Love you.

You can share file folders between two machines that are connected. You'll have to specify that the folders are to be shared, but that's not too difficult. Once you've done that, just start moving files over.

Ad hoc network if they're wifi, make public folders on both, transfer files from one to other... [and thence to destination folders].

It's going to take a while though...

E-mail the folders to yourself with your old computer

Pick them up with your new computer

SugarSync and/or Dropbox, and a lot of free time.
