How to copy files between computers on the LAN

I have a wireless network at home. How can I copy files between computers?

You have access to the files on each computer in the another computer - can you open and read them?  In other words, the network connection is working properly and you have the permissions of files and folders?  If this isn't the case, after return and we will address this as a separate issue.

If so all you need to do is open Exploere Windows on a machine, and map a drive to the C:\ drive on the other machine.  Here's how to map a drive to another computer: http://www.vista4beginners.com/Map-Network-Drive.  You "got to do thi on the other machine if you want to share files in the two directios.

Once done, open Windows Explorer and go to the drive where, the file to be copied, right-click on it and select copy.  Then go back to Homepage Windows computer and select the drive where you want to copy the file (in this case, the mapped network drive).  Go whenever you want to copy and click the folder where you want that he stored and right-click and select Paste.  The file will be copied.  That's all there is to it.  Once the mapped drives copy really works exactly as it does if you have just one computer that you are handling.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • IX4 - 300 d - cannot copy files between actions or the ext disk. USB

    Hi forum!

    I can't work for the life of me how to move files between the shares on the NAS. I can access my computer fine actions. I have a USB HARD drive connected to the front USB port and I want to copy some files from the HARD drive to a shared folder on the NAS, but when I'm in the content browser that I have no option to copy, and there is no functionality of drag - move. That I going nuts or something blatantly obvious lack?

    I want to copy data from USB directly as it is a few TB of data and copying on the LAN will take ages. It's going to be a regular thing, but I can't really put in place a copy job, because it is not the same type of data or file locations every time.

    Help, please!

    Thank you!

    Hello MattDobson,

    You will need to map the actions:

    And move the data in this way, the Ext HDD will appear as its own share, but can be mapped as others.

    The content in the UI Viewer is not designed to move data.

  • How to share files between Win 7 computers in the same workgroup without set up homegroup?

    How to share files between computers to win 7 in the same workgroup, without setting up any homegroup?

    We tried to avoid putting in place the homegroup. Because we fear us will not be able to share files between win 7 homegroup computers and Vista & XP?

    Thank you.

    Ok. We got it to work.

    In the folder tab property shares.

    Click on 'Share' - choose people to share with, click on the drop down tab, select 'All', click 'Add', in the table below, to the right of everyone, click on the "Permission level", we choose 'read '. Then, in the background, we click on "share". The next dialog box is 'your folder is shared', click 'done '.

    Click on 'Advanced sharing', [x] check share this folder. Click on 'OK '.

    Then, click on 'OK' to the folder property.

    Then, your folder is shared on your network working group of Win 7.

    Me too, I unfortunately have the same problem.

    Installed a replacement wifi router and lost access to a NAS. And it is the only element that would not be re - connect...

    It's the config probably simple setting of the wireless router with the IP Address of the NAS (10.1.10.199 if this is of any help), but it's clearly a mystery to find useful info on how and what to configure...

    Unfortunately, it was easier under XP...

    Thanks for the research.

  • Order the sharing of files between computers

    I have two Windows XP computers: one with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and the other with Windows XP Professional SP3. I want to share files between them, but the one with Pro is too far from the router. I have only one ethernet cable to reach between the two. Is there a way to relate to each other with the cable and to share files between them.

    I really want to drill holes in the ground, and the computer is in my garage, not in the House, so it's too far. And the WiFi signal reached until now. Is there anything else I can try? I don't want to buy a flash drive since I never use them.

    You dismissed almost all the options.

    Given preferences, but assuming your House and garage to receive electric service through the same electric meter (in other words, you don't have two separate service accounts), then the most likely solution for you is "network".

    Basically, powerline network using adapters that transmit packets lines of power supply to your home network.  You plug an adapter into the wall power outlet at each location and then run an Ethernet cable from the adapter to the computer.

    Some adapters have opportunities for wifi, but also an Ethernet connection.  Some cards have only one Ethernet port, while others may have multiple ports.

    There are several standards, my understanding is that currently, the most common standard for network home powerline HomePlug AV (sometimes called AV1).

  • Copying files between hard drives problem

    Hello

    I have problems copying files between hard drives on my computer. I was having this problem on Windows 7 and Windows Vista, but never met him on XP.  It seems that there are several similar topics, but I think I've noticed a few oddities in my own experience...

    I have several drives, between 500 GB ~ 1 TB.  Problems arise when I try to copy a folder with a large number of files (pictures, records about 4 GB in size, typically).  Initially, the transfer rate would be HD burst speed, somewhere between 90 MB to 150 MB.  Speed would be reduced to about 30 MB, or even lower.  The transfer ends by becomes so slow that the operation would take hours to complete.  If I try to cancel, it would take minutes to do.  The computer run slowly for a long period of time, with an offset of intermittent until I have to reboot the system.  This occurs regardless the source and destination drives.

    On some Samsung drives, this problem is actually lead to the corruption of data on the source and destination drives and i/o error messages.  CHKDSK runs at startup, try to solve the problem, but the data would be lost or unreadable disc.  I have since thrown the Samsung WD drives, do not have IO error, but the file copy problem persists.  I also disabled chkdsk at startup for all readers.

    My drivers and Bios are up-to-date.  Computer is free of viruses and malware.  I have no more trouble with Windows 7.  Curiously, if I compress my folders/files in one RAR file, I have no problems copying (transfer rate remains stable at 30 ~ 50MB).  This leads me to believe that this is not a hardware problem, but a problem with the Explorer of solutions, and that respect more particularly with the number of files transferred rather than size.  (But unpacking these files also lead to poor performance sometimes...)

    Is this a known issue that will be corrected?  I really like Win7, but because I work with large number of files and many backups all the time, stability during the file copying is a must.  I have perhaps to go back to XP, or use another OS entirely...

    I had the same problem;

    My system-

    Windows 7 Pro 64
    Core i7 940
    7200 RPM dual 500 GB SATA
    Gigabit ethernet

    Gigabit ethernet switch
    Gigabit router

    Buffalo NAS 1 TB, RAID 0, Gigabit Ethernet

    I was getting speeds of transfer of a maximum of 500 / 600 KB/s between the hard drive and network storage drive. I went through a number of * fixed * on the web without success, however, I disabled "TCP AutoTuning" and "RSS" rebooted and voila, I now get speeds of transfer of 9-10 MB / s and from the network drive.

    The fix
    It should be noted that, in addition to this, I have updated to the latest updates for Windows and off the DRC in the Windows Options under programs/features.

    How to disable TCP AutoTuning and receive scalability side

    1. Open a prompt with administrator rights.
    2. Type the following commands, and press enter (the second command on RSS is optional):

      netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel = disabled
      netsh interface tcp set global rss = off

    3. Restart the computer.

  • Disable copying files between virtual machines

    When I go to several virtual desktops using VMware View 4, I am able to copy files between virtual machines. Virtual machines are located in various isolated networks. It is a security problem in my organization and how do I disable this feature? I am not able to find any related configuration in sight connection to the server. Thank you!

    I assume you are using RDP as the Protocol currently, correct?

    In this case, you will need to implement some GPO:s in the workstations to avoid copy and paste.

    Look in the 'Extras' folder on the view connection server, there are a number of ADM files that you can implement to restrict all sorts of things.

    Best regards

  • How to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

    I would like to move a file from one folder to another one of Lightroom 3 (do not discuss why). I searched the net but couldn't find the answer (maybe I missed it). When I click on a photo in the grid view and then drag and drop this file into another folder in the folder Panel (for the move), a small sign more (copy) appears and a copy of the file is placed in the second folder. If I try to delete the photo in the original folder (for the move), two copies of the file are removed. I tried pressing all kinds of keys on the imac but unable to get the move to work. Ideally, I would like to move a group of pictures but can not move even one. Does anyone know how to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

    Try to select the pictures, right click on the folder target and choosing "move selected Photos to this folder.

    Hello world!

    Quick question here: is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

    I have two users say that A and B. If I go the long way via the 'Go' menu > 'Computer', I ended up being told to contact my computer or the network administrator for assistance. Both users are admin one and file sharing is allowed in system preferences... I have to admit that I use 10.9.5 because my MacBook Pro would not work with OS Xs national parks.

    Any ideas would be cool because I'm sure that it used to work fine with "Snow Leopard" without being connected to the internet - or should I just send an email to myself and recover the files on the other user :-) to recover my USB is
