transfer files to another computer over local network?
108964
Where is the question? You think that just because you wrote a sentence, and placed a question mark at the end of it, it became a question?\n\nAnyway, if your question is about the process of transferring files to a computer over a local network, then here is the answer:\n1.Open the computer you want to transfer the files to and share the drive you want to place the file in. (right click, properties, sharing). \n2.Go to the computer that has the files you want to share. Open "My network Places", and you will see the drive that u just shared on the computer. Drag the file you want to share into the drive you see, and voila!

If both machines have USB ports, transferring files with a jump drive is probably the best method. Jump drives are available for 20 bucks or less and are very useful.

Transferring files from one computer to another is no big deal, you just need to buy either a short crossover cable and directly connect your two computers or buy an extra patch cable with which to connect your laptop to your hub/switch/router at home. Then all you have to do is right click on the folder containing the files/folders that you want to share and select properties (for windows xp/2000) and under sharing and security select the option to share it over the network. Then all you have to do is open internet explorer and type &#92;&#92;<computer_name> where <computer_name> is the name of your computer (e.g. radicalhomepc).\n\nMoving programs over is not so easy. You can either try copying the corresponding folders in the Program Files directory and try to grab all the corresponding registry files and import them to your desktop's registry, or you can buy a program (probably ~50-60 dollars) that will copy your programs with varying degrees of success between computers. Probably the cheapest solution would be to install the programs anew on your computer and just import the files you want through what I covered on sharing files.

If you do not have a network, do both items have an Ethernet (Network port on them?) - if so you need a 'Crossover' network cable and just joine them, in XP the other pc will be recognised immediately, you will have to set 'Sharing' on the disk you wish to access. If you do not have ethernet ports then, look for Brooklyn Bridge or another similar program, that can use USB, Serial or Printer Ports to exchange data.

Get a USB Cross-directional cable. Hook it up to a USB port on both computers. Then find some software to aid in transferring.

You need to make a local network. And to share some files on both computers. At least you need two network cards and a RJ45 cable (crossed) or a routeur and two RJ45 cables. Then on the network properties tick the File and Printer Sharing for Miscrosoft Networks.

Using  a network cable (UTP) any cathegory \nconnect thos two laptops and use network setop wizard ..you will find network setup wizard in control panel at network connections\nUse the same ip class for both of the two laptops how to do that it's simple:\n1. Open control panel\n2. Open network connections\n3. Right click on the item spelled "Local area connection" and chose "properties" and then the "Local Area Connection" window will popup.\n4. In this window at the "general" tab in the box named "This connection uses the following items:" duble click on the "internet protocol(TCP/IP)\n5. The Internet Protocol window will popup. In this window click on the "Use The Following ip adderss:" and place this ip for the first laptop "192.468.3.1" and at the "Subnet Mask:" place 255.255.255.0 then click ok.\n\n~~Now for the second laptop use the same steps but place this ip addess 192.168.3.2 and the same Subnet Mask "255.255.255.0" click ok and presto you have a network connection!\n\nto transfere file use "My Network Places" will find that in the start menu or in "My Computer" on the left side of this window.\n\n!Dont forget you need to share the files before you can copy them using "my network palces" To share the files right click on the folder you wish to be shared and chose "properties" you will find the sharing options at the sharing tab of the window that had just poped up.\nYou Will know what you have to do once you are there :)\n!You can share an entite hard drive as well by doing the same step!!!\nThat's all you need to know about it!\nHappy shareing!\nDon't forget to vote my answer!\nGood Luck ;)\n\nOhh! and if you wish to create a wirless connetion between thos two laptops use thw wirless network setup wizard . You will find that in Control panel!\n\nthe shareing method it's the same . and the ip rules as well!!!\n\nThat all there is to know!\nHappy sharryng

There is something called a data transfer cable... \nalso known as File Transfer/ Data link Cable \nThis basically is a cable that connects the TWO computers together and all you have to do is drag and drop...\n\n(safer than cut and paste in case for something the transfer got interrupted.)\n\nWhat i suggest you do is simply drag and drop 500 at a time (u said you have over 4000) \n\nThis way your computer wont freeze up for having to be under the strain of such a large file transfer!\n\nOn e-Bay you could get them real cheap... for a couple of dollars...

Try a free file transfer service such as http://www.rapidupload.com or http://www.myfilehut.com .\n\nIf the computers both have serial ports, there are cables and programs you can buy to connect them together.  In the days of DOS there was a popular one called Laplink.  Don't know if that's still around but I'm sure your local computer store can tell you what the modern equivalent is.\n\nIf the computers both have USB ports you could use a small external drive that is expressly designed for transferring files.  Again, check with your local computer store to see the variety available.

If you have ethernet jacks on each computer then you can get a crossover cable which will allow you to create a 2 computer LAN.  You can then setup file sharing on the old computer and just drag and drop your files onto the new computer :)

there are several ways....over email, or >>>ftp>>>but you got to be on the Ethernet with both computers...

Windows ME you mean?\n\nYes of course - either buy an ethernet cross-over cable and network them together, or plug them both into a networking switch.\n\nAssign them both similar IP addresses ie\n\n192.168.1.1 for the PC\n255.255.255.0 subnet mask\n\n192.168.1.2 for the laptop\n255.255.255.0\n\nMake sure they're both in the same workgroup and all you need to do now is share the files and you're done.

If you are backing up a laptop, which seems to be what you are suggesting, you can put both pc's on the same network workgroup and share the C: drive on the laptop allowing you to copy files to the desktop hard drive.

Since your other PC does not even see the hard drive, you need to solve that problem before you can transfer files. \nTo me, the easiest way to transfer many, many files is to physically remove the hard drive from the one computer and install it as a slave into the target computer.  It should plug right into the second computer.  Connect the power and IDE cable into it, restart your machine (hopefuly the new computer will see it), then use Windows Explorer to transfer the files.

It's not possible unless both computers are networked.\n\nBetter copy it on a floppy or CD. Else upload it to the internet from the source PC and download it into your PC.

easist way is copy them on a floppy disk and transfer that way

Yes there are lots of different ways to accomplish this.\n\nIf both computers have network cards you can use a crossover cable(network cable with specific wires crossed) to connect them setup ip addresses and file sharing.\n\nUse a router or switch and plug them both in with regular network cables. \n\nUse serial cables and setup a direct connection.\n\nIf both have wireless cards you can setup an adhoc network between the two or get a wireless router and plug one in and have the other wireless.
