hi ,
my case is i have 2 PCs each of them has independent isp account
(broadband); can i share & transfer files between these two pcs while they
are online?
Is there any such freeware to satisfy my requirement without buying
additional hardware?
thanks in advance,
teddy.

Depending on the configuration of the hardware, you should need any extra
software... just NIC and cable connecting the two pc's

Correct. So you need 2 NICs per computer, one for the broadband
connection and one for a connection to the other PC (internal
network).
The cable you need is a crossed UTP cable (make sure that it's
CROSSED!). For the internal network NICs, you set an IP address like
192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2, these are addresses that are reserved
for these purposes and won't be found on the internet. You should see
both computers in your 'network neighborhood' without too much
tweaking.

As the other answers suggested additional hardware, I'll try to give an
answer that doesn't need that... :-)

However, which solutions that can be possible is depending on several
things:

- restrictions made by any of the ISPs.
- type and version of OSs
- installed net protocols
- and possibly much more...

One way that actually could be the simplest is to make a shared folder on
one or both of the computers, and then to map it on the other as a virtual
unit through the IP-address (i.e. "\\123.45.67.89\myfolder").

Another approach is to install an FTP-server on them:

And of course a corresponding FTP-client on each:

Yet another approach is to use VNC with filetransfering possibilities, such
as UltraVNC, which gives the added benefit of the possibility of "running
both computers" from one of them...

There are surely many other possibilities as well, but these are those that
came to mind at the moment...

thanks Bjorn & the others' suggestion,
i think building ftp sites is the best and easiest way for me as i know how
to make ftp servers,
thanks again,
teddy.
