usually you would use FTP, NFS or HTTP. But within one application it might
be usefull to use CORBA. If you do the transfer with one single call and
the content of file is represented as String, there is only little
overhead.

interface FileConsumer
{
    eatFile(String filecontent);
};

be carefull if the file is very large you have got to load all into memory
before transfer can start. I would use CORBA (ORBit) only for middle size
files.

But lets hear what experts say (I am no expert).
