Files through Network

[majistic]

I can send and recieve files through a hub, correct ? With other computers on my network...and how can I set this up ?

 

[bla!!]

First, make sure that all of the computers are in the same workgroup.

For XP/Win2k Right click on My computer, click on network identification, click on properties, and make sure that workgroup is selected and that all computers have the same workgroup name.

Second, create a shared folder on the computer you'd like to share the files from. Right click on the folder you want shared, click on sharing. Click on Share this folder, and create a name. Click on the permissions button if you want any special access rights.

Then browse on any of the other computers and you should see the shared folder.

There might be some issues if you're attempting this cross OS, or using WinME.

I you wanna do that, install an Instant Messenger on both computers and then do the send and recieve process.

I've tried that and I got to speeds of like 3.5 Megabytes per second.

Its quicker and easier to just send through the network. I finally got it to work. I had to create a new network..
