I am at college and would like send files to friend using apache (gaim hates me) but I can't accept incoming connections (or soething) on that port. Is there any tunnelling software that I can use to get around this?

If you can ssh to his box, you can scp the files. If he can ssh to yours, you can setup an ssh tunnel, but I would think you'll have the same problem with him sshing to you as with apache.

He has to run the server, then.

if theres any linux machine accessible from both sides you can ssh to it and set up an ssh port forwarding (slow)
better he sets up a ftp and you drop it

in the mean time maybe you guys should use an intermediary like http://dropload.com/ ? Or email for that matter, attachments with yahoo and gmail can be huge these days...
