I'd do it the really secure way...
create a user for him on your machine..
install and run the openssh server..
tell him to download to search for and download a free program called
ixplorer
its a secure ftp client,
then all he needs to do is enter your IP address or whatever you resolve
back to, and off you go..
and if you enable compression in ssh, you can get a speed benefit in that as
well..

Frank

Subject: [newbie] easy but secure way to share large files over the net
I am looking for a fairly easy but secure way to share large movie files
with
my uncle. We both have cable so that is no problem. He has windows though.
I thought about proftpd but since RoadRunner change to dns I keep getting a
fatal error: cant resolve dhcp-21-1, this is what mandrake reports as the
host, but changes at each boot. Is there a way around this? or is there a
better way than FTP?
