Have you checked for printer and file aharing to be activated when you set up the network?\n\nIt could also otherwise be a firewall issue.\n\nTry the printer sharing thing. it should work

It's kinda hard to understand the question your asking? The best thing to do is to add more details to this question. Give as much info about the pc and the problem your encountering (Ex. what OS are you running, what os are you trying to load the files on to, make and model of the pc, what files are you trying to transfer, etc.). also if you are getting an error message when trying to complete the task, include it in the details section of the question.

Search for *.scr files on your home machines.  Copy those files to a CD and Place them in the Same folder on your work computer.  This is assuming that both machines are running the same OS...

Hi,\n\nI'm assuming you already have pcAnywhere installed on both of your computers and know how to use it. Connect your laptop to the host computer(source of your files) and use the built in file transfer tool in pcAnywhere to copy all Windows 3.11 files to your laptop. The file transfer icon is one of the buttons displayed at the top.\n\nGood luck!

If you have more data then a cd will hold consider a crossover cable, it will allow you to directly connect both PC.\n\nWhile the crossover cable is connected you will only have access to the other machine and you will need to manually setup the IP information.  Then enable file and print sharing on both machines.\n\nsuggested IP\nMachine 1\n10.0.0.10\n255.255.255.0\n10.0.0.10\n\nMachine 2\n10.0.0.20\n255.255.255.0\n10.0.0.10\n\nThis should work and keep you from wasting a CD or going through the setups of transferring from one computer to an external computer and back down to the new computer.

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

Actually, I've heard that using USB cable to connect the 2 pc's to transfer files is not the recommended way of doing so.\n\nIf you have a USB removable flash memory drive, this is THE easiest and fastest way to transfer files from one pc to another (you can buy 1GB flash drive for $30! or why not a USB external Hard Drive for 80GB for $100?).\n\nIf you don't want to buy another accessory, then your other choice is to connect your 2 pc's together by using either a Null Modem Serial Cable or by using Home Networking. Then, use the "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard", which is already included in your Windows XP operating system.\n\nBut first you need to connect your two computers together. The EASIEST way to connect is to get a Null Modem Serial Cable (buy at any computer shop and they are cheap), while the FASTER way to transfer files is to use Home Networking (more complex method).\n\nUsing the Serial Cable:\nFirst, make sure both pc's have an available serial port (aka COM port). Most new computers have a 9-pin port and most new cables have a 9-pin plug. If you have a 25-pin port on the computer, you'll need to buy an adaptor for the cable. If you have more than one port to plug the serial cable into the computer, just pick one of the ports and plug the serial cable in. The Files And Settings Transfer Wizard will automatically detect the connection later.\n\nHome Networking:\nIf you are planning to keep both your old computer and your new computer, you may want to just create a Home network. \nFirst make sure both computers have a Network Interface Card (NIC) or a USB network interface installed. You'll need a network cable and to buy a hub (If you have wireless, you won't need a cable or a hub). Now, run the "Network Setup Wizard" to set up your Home network (Start menu, All Programs, Accessories, Communications).\n\nAfter you have decided which method to take, and you have connected both computers, run the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard (Start menu, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools). The rest is pretty self-explanatory, but if you do get stuck, here's a link for more help: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/expert/crawford_november12.mspx\n(scroll a little down for the relevant section)\n\nGood Luck!

If you're looking to share files between clients or coworkers via a server, I would actually recommend using a program called WinSCP.  WinSCP is an open source freeware SFTP client for Windows using SSH. Legacy SCP protocol is also supported. Its main function is safe copying of files between a local and a remote computer. \n\nFeatures include:\nGraphical user interface \nTranslated into several languages \nIntegration with Windows (drag&drop, URL, shortcut icons) \nAll common operations with files \nSupport for SFTP and SCP protocols over SSH-1 and SSH-2 \nBatch file scripting and command-line interface \nDirectory synchronization in several semi or fully automatic ways \nIntegrated text editor \nSupport for SSH password, keyboard-interactive, public key and Kerberos (GSS) authentication \nIntegrates with Pageant (PuTTY authentication agent) for full support of public key authentication \nWindows Explorer-like and Norton Commander-like interfaces. \nOptionally stores session information. \nOptionally supports standalone operation using a configuration file in place of registry entries, suitable for operation from removable media \n\nhttp://winscp.net/eng/index.php\n\nIf you're new to file sharing, you'll really appreciate the explorer-like interface.  Makes a huge difference!! Hope this helps!

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.

Try Beamfile, send files up to 5GB in size for free, http://www.beamfile.com/  Note that beamfile must be installed on both computers, the one you send from and the one you are sending to.

Install a router, to allow them both net access.\nThen install all the programmes and files that you need to keep, on the new machine...   and take anything that you don't want messed with off the old one\nBrowser favourites and bookmarks can be exported/imported from old to new.\nBy far the easiest way to move stuff around is after they are bother connected to the router, because you can make them visible to each other ("shareable").  Failing that, invest in a small "flash drive" - a portable memory device that fits in the USB port on each machine

If you have the CDs/floppies for your computer's drivers, try those.\n\nIf you don't, download off of the internet from another computer, then put it on a CD or a flash drive, then put it into the original computer that doesn't have internet.

You could connect the two computers using Limewire. Just select "Direct Connect". As long as you know the IP addresses, it should work.\n\nI think you can also share files between computers using Yahoo! Messenger.\n\nOr, if it's the computer of someone you know, such as a friend  who lives closeby, you could just burn the data onto a disc, and give the data disc to whoever needs it.

Make a Back-up of the file and try changing the .psw to .doc. If its a PDA Or Pocket PC then the transfer software should do it.

Hook up an ethernet cord from one computer to the other and click the file and transfer wizard under the start menu in XP of the old comp.\n-NmD!

the easiest way would be to network the 2 together with a router if you have one and transfer the files straight from one to the other.\n\nYou can also do the Removable media thing as stated above ie: CD, floppy etc.\n\nand lastly, you can email em to yourself or I like to icq or msn messenger them as well.\n\nany of those should do ya just fine..*S*
