Sharing of files between a Windows XP PC and a Windows 7 PC via a network home

I have files on an old PC running Windows XP, I want to get on my new PC running Windows 7. I tried to access the files on the network in the same way that I've always had with XP, making them available on the network through the properties of the folder.

I made the files available for sharing on the XP computer, but can't find a way to access it from the new Windows 7 PC.

With the desired files PC running Windows XP
PC to recover files is running Windows 7
The XP PC is connected through a Linksys router wireless
The W7 PC is connected to the same router via Ethernet cable

Simple, do the same for the two working groups. Windows key + break under computer. Kill the password sharing in windows 7. Right of the mouse on the LAN in Win7 network open / change advances. Select turn off password sharing. Make sure discovery tour of the network and file sharing are on.

Create a folder in XP share it. Simple file tick share if its judgment (my computer / tools / folder options / view). . Create a folder in Win 7 right of the mouse / properties / sharing / share. Select everyone up to the top, change the background of read/write. You will save mucking around with passwords, or by entering the ips in to get into the other folder. To facilitate things if you want to copy the installation files to etc. Go to start/run in win7, type shell: sendto, right of the mouse / new shortcut. Go to the network folder add it. It will appear under the send on the shortcut menu. Do the same with XP, except type sendto under start/run. And do the same thing

If you do not have any other pc Win7 kill homegroup. Computer, highlight the residential group / right mouse / change homegroup settings / leave homegroup

If the firewall installed on either (in addition to windows), configure them

  • How can I set sharing of files between two iMacs?

    I want to set up the sharing of files between two iMacs in my office. Both work on iOS 10.11.3 and both are on the same WiFi network. I'll Finder, select the name of the other computer under 'sharing', then ' connect under... ". ", and then enter the name and password of the other computer. On a computer, I am told that it is connected with each other. However, the second computer always shows "the connection failed". I tried the 'Registered user' choice of "Guest" and "using Apple ID", but none will establish the connection. There must be something obvious that I'm missing, but I wasn't able to find out. I also tried to see if they would communicate with Bluetooth. Bluetooth screens on each computer show the the other is detectable by the proper name, but is never establish a connection.

  • Compatibility of files between MAC 5.5 CS and CS 5.5 PC?

    We are a store based on PC with some MAC here and there thrown.  Asked me to check the compatibility of files between MAC 5.5 CS and CS 5.5 PC.  The files are compatible?  either the user on a PC can create a document photoshop/illustrator/etc which is then opened by user B on a MAC without problems?

    Thank you!

    Yes. For programs, you said it has been the case for always and even for programs such as Premiere Pro, or again, which were specific to the platform until recently, is more a problem for CS5. Of course, you will always have to take care of different manipulations for the paths of files on different platforms for files related to the outside, but it is a different matter and nothing specific to Adobe...

  • I need to know the file current date/time number stamp and the version of "spoolsv.exe" in Vista Home Premium 32-bit with SP2.

    I need to know the file current date/time number stamp and the version of "spoolsv.exe" in Vista Home Premium 32-bit with SP2. My spooler file got corrupted and I need to know what that the stamp of date/time on the latest version of the file: spoolsv.exe. I did a search on my hard drive and found 8 copies of the file with 7 different dates. I need to know which copy in my file C:\windows\system32\. I suspect that the problem was caused by some kind of malware. I think that some of the different versions on my machine of the initial installation of the Vista, SP1 and SP2. 3 copies that would explain. I tried all the suggestions in this forum and several others. I tried sfc/scannow and it simply replaces the corrupted file by another. I understand how works this file and a simple copy will do the trick if I knew that the file to use. I know that I don't want to go back to the first version of 2006.  BTW... my symptoms are all my printers have disappeared, and when I try to 'add a new printer' I get an error message saying that my spooler service does not work. When I opened my services window it shows that indeed, he is arrested, but I will not start because the description column contains only the code garbled machine indicating that the file is corrupted, or it may contain a virus. I had been using F-Prot until this virus got by and now I use AVG. I scanned my machine with several cleaning packages and it is is more infected, but I worry that from this corrupt file grow something. I know that the problem is not with my printers or drivers, because everyone on my home network can print on all of my printers. None of the people I know are on Vista 32 bit. They are all running System 7 or XP. I have XP, except that a few years ago I suffered from the "Syndrome of Pepsi" on my laptop and when I bought a new HP, it came with Vista.

    How to share files and look at these different systems?

    1 person needs an answer

    You can share files between all of these systems. It is difficult for me to what you wrote if you want to share files with Windows 7 in OS X machine, but I have included this information in case you do. Because Vista is installed in training Camp, I have only included Win7 OS X sharing files and not Vista-OS X sharing files since you can't use both at the same time.

    On Windows

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    (C) in Vista, turn on password protected sharing. In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. In sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    Create accounts of users and corresponding passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    Vista/Win7 - ORB start > Search > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    On OS X

    On OS X, make sure you have checked in the file sharing system preferences > sharing. Click the Options button, and then select "share files and folders using SMB." Add the shared directories as you wish.

    You must create accounts/passwords user on the Mac and Windows 7. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE.

    OS X Firewall is done in System Preferences > Security. Click the lock to make changes, and then click the Advanced button to ensure that SMB sharing is allowed. If you set up in the share pod, it will be.

  • 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).

  • Access denied error for some files pdf and jpg transferred via a network home of microsoft (working group)

    I use a home network of microsoft are working on a Linksys router.  Some (not all) files jpg and pdf transferred over the network producing the error access denied when you try to open, change of name, copy, etc.  I am not able to copy files thesse in a Breifcase on the remote computer which I use for backup.

    The original files are in agreement on basic computer; If I archive in a zip file I can decompress and open the files on the remote computer. If I copy on a zip drive and hand to the remote computer, the files are correct.  It might have started because I've upgraded to SP3.  Disable Norton doesn't seem to help.  I downloaded and used LockHunter which shows the files are not locked and does nothing to help them open.

    OS - XP Pro with SP3.  Security - Norton Internet Security - 20010. Adobe Acrobat 7.0 and Adobe Phtoshop 6.0 but to open JPGs with other programs and save back doesn't help.

    Any ideas?  I use the net sneaker now and stood up on the local network.

    Bill

    Well, I found my problem.  After many attempts to unlock files and cureing my registry etc etc. I put the properties on each of the files to enable sharing.  After this Briefcase has worked and I can open the files on the remote control.  I feel stupid: not really!
