Why not use SSHFS ?

transfer of files in a trusted network such as home and if
connection is encrypted then it takes much more time because due to
encryption network latency increases so file transfer becomes
slow.So I do not want to use this method.
I have 2 laptops at home and some times watch movies or files from
one to other laptop at such times doing an ftp etc becomes
irritating. How ever in windows if I do I can simply drag and drop
which is what I want.

Using split screen in konqueror: fish:// to the remote directory in
one screen, and navigate to the local dir/ in the other screen.
Drag'n-drop -- and much more.

Fish is simply a wrapper round ssh, though, so it's still subject to
the latency properties.

Otherwise, rsh ( ssh without the encryption), rsync or nfs come to
mind, I'd guess (with no data) that's in decreasing order of speed.

Or netcat?
