How to access files in a computer from another computer.

Original title: Simple Network help please

All I want to do is plug my 2 computers on Win 7 default Workgroup through my modem router ADSL.  One, my laptop is running Win 7 Premium and connect wirelessly, the Bureau uses an Ethernet, Win 7 Professional. The wireless has only a single HARD C: drive and the desktop PC has 2 hard drives, a partitioned in C:, D: and the other E:. I connect to computers by using the same username/password. I want to be able to see/modify/copy any file from one PC to another, but it seems so difficult with Win 7.

Homegroup would be perfect if it allow you to use more public folders. Oh, I forgot, I have a printer connected to my desktop PC I want to print over the network. Please can someone help, because he drives me crazy.

  • How do I find my username to the home group so IO accesses files on my PC from my computer laptop win.7

    How can I find my username at my home group so that I can access files on my PC from my laptop - Windows PC Windows7 10

    1 2 profiles are used because you can assign two different levels of access to files, read-only and read/write.

    Recommended for networks Windows is to assign rights to a group rather than an individual user. This way you can give any number of users the same rights by placing them in a particular group. Not quite relevant in a homegroup but in a domain where users come and go, change roles etc. it makes it easy to manage. So, we have two groups and two users to place in these groups. You can see the mechanism in action by looking at security settings for one of the shared folders.

    In a workgroup environment basis with say 5 PCs with each having their own main user who is 5 user accounts. For all users to access files on other computers of their own this means that not only the user account must exist on their own PC, but it must be created on all other PCs. This includes management so if a user changes his password on his PC then it must go around each of the other PC and change the password on those, otherwise he will be denied access.

    HomeGroup avoids this by creating an additional user that exists on all PCs and has the same password in all of the group because it is defined in the configuration of the homegroup. Although the primary user on a PC is refused by another PC, it will accept the credentials of the user to the homegroup. Which of the two is accepted depends on the required access.

    Thus, although the mechanism seems a bit complicated (and there is more than that) there is a logic to it.

    The easiest way is to use a USB to SATA or IDE USB adapter. (most of the adapters offer both).

  • How to access files on my drive Z?

    I run Windows 7 Pro and have a secure partitioned drive called Z-drive.  When I try to access this drive, the computer tells me that I don't have permission to view the files on this drive.  This makes no sense because I'm logged in as an administrator.

    This partition takes 186 GB of space on my hard drive... it's over 1/4 hard my entire computer space.  I should have access to it.

    I called Microsoft support and they told me that I have to pay to get access to my remote computer because Microsoft 7 is no longer supported.  I hope I can get help so that Microsoft does not require me to pay for disk space that I bought when I bought this machine.

    Please help me to access this drive.

    Thank you!

    It is not on your hard drive.  It does not all the space on your hard drive.

    Records management function, your main hard drive is '500 GB'.  The size is in quotes because the manufacturer of the drive, 500 GB = 500,000,000,000 bytes.  Windows, however, uses "kilobyte" means 1024 bytes; "Mo" means 1024 KB; and 'to' means 1024 GB.

    Therefore,.

    500,000,000,000 bytes / 1024 = 488,281,250 KB

    488,281,250 OF 1024 KB = 476,837.16 MB

    476,837.16 MB / 1024 = 465,66 GB

    For example, when disk management displays GB 465,76, which translates one about 500 GB drive in disk measurement manufacturer.

    The three partitions displayed on your drive hard drive total 465 GB, including 186 for your system drive and 254 GB for your data (which is almost not used, you probably have not transferred your files of data user yet. see http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-move-windows-7-personal-folders-my-documents-another-drive.htm).

    It seems that you also have a 2 TB WD My Passport Ultra and a 500 GB WD My Book attached as external drives.

    My guess is that the 'Z' drive has something to do with automatic SmartWare backup online Western Digital, especially given that you have the SmartWare CD in your CD drive.  Experimentally, disconnect your computer from the Internet and restart.  Is the drive Z still there?

  • How to access files in a folder to store data for a virtual machine?

    Hi all

    I'm relatively new to virtualization in general (I'm learning!) and have a question.  I have a host server of VMware ESXi 5.0 set in place with several VMs configured in it.  I also have various data stores configured, usually a virtual computer by the data store.  Most of the virtual machines are Windows, but one I have problems with is a machine virtual 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.  I currently manage and administer the server remotely over a slow connection.  Anticipate, the last time I was on the same network as the host server, I downloaded to a folder on the same database as the VM RHEL, about 5 GB of files that I knew that I would need to access in the VM RHEL install different software.  Now, I'm trying to "expose" these files very to the RHEL VM so I can install the software.  How would I do that?

    From what I've gathered reading other posts here, I could create an ISO that contains the files and then upload that to the server on the host to be mounted into the CD player, but my connection is so slow that would take a very long time.  I also believe that I could create a network share on my Windows 7 computer and allow the virtual machine to access the files in this way - but once again, my connection is the problem (not to mention that I do not have a GUI installed on RHEL and I'm not a Linux expert).

    None of the files I need are ISOs, unfortunately, so I can not directly mount the CD-ROM drive in the virtual computer from the data store.  If I have access to a shell on the host server, it does not recognize the command vmware-mount so I can't access the virtual disk for RHEL to just copy the files into it.  Also, it does not recognize the mkisofs command (of which i google trying to figure out if I could create the ISO on the host itself).

    So, basically, I'm looking for a way to access files in a virtual machine that are in the same bank data, as its virtual disk.  If that is possible to copy these files in virtual drive somehow, or mount a CD-ROM drive or hard drive that exposes these files on the virtual computer, I don't have a preference...  I'm just trying to not have to re - download the files in a different format (or using a different method) since they are already on the host server.

    Any suggestions would be very appreciated that - thank you.

    Welcome to the community,

    one solution might be to enable SSH on the host computer and then use scp to access or download files from the host/datastore (within the Linux VM).

    If you really want to use icloud pilot, by that you can try the Readdle Documents

    https://iTunes.Apple.com/us/app/documents-5-fast-PDF-reader/id364901807?Mt=8

    You can also try the indirect approach, the synchronization of these files with ibooks instead of icloud by using itunes, which would require, knowing how direct and connection or you can try to create document in Pages and use the Pages on your phone, granted that it's a great app to have.
