Transfering a 15gb folder from 1 macbook to another

I need to copy a folder of 15GB in size from 1 Macbook laptop to another.

The both have wireless cards obviously. And Bluetooth. I have a normal network cable (ethernet).

What options do I have in making the transfer?

Is there anyway besides Bluetooth to make the transfer? I'm guessing Bluetooth would take many hours to do it.

Solution 1:

Use the network cable, and configure static IP addresses (System Preferences » Network) on both machines. Then use one of the Sharing options in System Preferences » Sharing.

The computers are smart enough to detect it's a normal network cable, not crossover, and can connect anyway.

Solution 2:

You don't even need to configure static IP addresses to use a network cable. Just connect both Macs with the cable, and they will self-assign IP addresses and find each other (assuming that the network settings for that interface are still the default settings). If you don't have a FireWire cable, or one or both of the laptops don't have FireWire ports, then a wired connection will be much much faster than wifi or Bluetooth.
