unclesean Posts: 2 Joined: 6/27/2005 Status: offline	Transferring Files - 6/27/2005 2:07:56 I have successfully connected my XP PC to my XP laptop (via crossover cable) and can see both machines fine. I want to be able to transfer large files (up to 2GB) from the PC to the laptop. When transferred, delete them from the PC, and at a later date transfer them back from the laptop (effectively using the laptop as an external drive). I'm stumped as to how I can do this - any help would be most appreciated.

I actually have an old box w/ cd/manuals/cable that does this. If you don't mind using it, I will go find the name and give you a price to buy it from me. _____________________________ Arizona Web Design - Mr Bobs Web Design in Arizona The Arizona Web Hosting Challenge (in reply to unclesean)

Here are three solutions: 1) Put old drive inside new computer, and transfer it over. 2) Connect computers using a USB cable, and then setup a network to transfer the files 3) Goto a local store and purcahse a transfer program that comes with a data cable & software #1/#2 will not transfer over your actual settings, such as XP themes, Programs, etc, #3 usually has the ability to transfer this information.

Arent we just talking about changing the 'share' properties of a folder so that both PC's can see it for transfering files? eg - in Windows explorer, right click on a folder > properties > sharing _____________________________ If you arent part of the solution, then there is good money to be made prolonging the problem ��k� Database / DRW help Check out the Tutorials for Frontpage Databases Forum FAQ' s Developers Edition Spooky Login User Registration and Management tool Personalized Frontpage Hosting (in reply to BobbyDouglas)
