You absolutely do not have to use Rails to do this.

However, you would be well served to start at the beginning of the 
problem.

Because you say "any computer in the world", my assumption is that you are 
thinking about some sort of web browser based application for transfering 
the data.  Is this the case, or might your goals be served by a graphical 
or command line tool installed on the computer?  What kind of data do you 
need to transfer?

Once you answer these questions, you can be more effectively guided 
towards your available options.
