Best way to tranfer Huge file between Macs and PCs

if i format with fat32 or use macs format for windows (fat32) it will give me 3gigs tops or so.

will something like macdrive be the solution?

is there other ways of tranfering huge file between macs and PCs. its just tranfering and not used when editing/mixing/samples.

thanks

If its your Pc then ethernet to your Mac will be very fast

If not then a firewire drive formated as Mac/Pc on the Mac will work a treat

I have never had any luck with mac drive, I'd go with a simple network like redroom says.

3GB?

Fat32 has a file size limit of 2GB but the partition can be much larger. FAT32 will support 2TB disk but the larger the disk/partiton the less efficiently FAT32 will use the pace.

Best but is to simply use networking. Works great with OS X and windows.
