Transfer Files Over A Lan

[leeroy107]

i am looking to tranfer files over a lan windows itself will not do this even though the computers share a connection and can play multiplayer games so does anyone know of a program which will allow me to transfer files directly from one pc to another.
Many thanx

An article at http://www.wown.com/j_helmig/dccmain.htm which is crude yet informative is available. ;)

Thanks but im already connected via newtork cards but for some reason it wont let me transfer files between them. I was thinking more alond the lines of a good ftp program so allow me to do transfer the files directly between them.

You must make a folder shared on at least one of the pc's.

GO TO THE FOLDERS YOU WANT TO SHARE LEFT CLICK-SHARE AND SECURITY-SHARE THIS FOLDER ON THE NETWORK + ALLOW NETWORK USES TO CHANGE MY FILES-APPLY-OK
DO THIS TO ALL THE FILES YOU WANT TO SHARE ON BOTH COMPUTERS

I AM ASSUMING YOU ARE USING WINXP :rolleyes:

one of the pcs uses xp pro but the other one is running Windows Me. I have tried making shared folders on both systems but niether can see the other one!

There's a networking guide in xp, it has the option of creating a config disk for networking that can be used on another OS such as ME, try the guide.
