Transfer Files Between Two Computers

Recommended Posts

My desktop has a lot of music on it. Due to my recourses, I can only transfer up to ~1Gb of it at a time to my laptop. My laptop can wireless network with the desktop who can't. However, I can use a network cable to connect the desktop to the router (wireless). As a matter of fact, all I have to do right now is turn the desktop on and connect the laptop to the router to network them.The desktop is running Windows XP Pro w/SP2. The laptop is running Windows XP w/SP3. Another option is to reboot the laptop and boot both PC's into Linux. How do I get the PC's to transfer files b/w each other? I don't want to burn discs, nor use external drives.

Never mind. I figured it out. It was quiet simple really. Just used my laptop the find the desktop. Then I got on the desktop and shared a shortcut to the music folder I wanted to share. I then got back on the laptop and clicked the shared shortcut which brought me to the music I wanted. I lastly copied all the music (and folders with music), and pasted it into the laptops "my music" folder. It is copying right now.

I know you solved your problem, but I want to remind you that the Opera browser has a "Unite" feature that allows you to stream songs from one computer on another. It's not the best method in the world, but it has it's benefits. It saves disk space on your laptop and you can also access your songs from another computer not at home. Opera is a nice browser anyway, so it doesn't bother me to have it running.
