File transfer?
Sorry if this is a silly question and TY in advance for all the help and responses.
The cd drive on my laptop is completely broken and I need to get a file(s) from another laptop. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer files without using CDs or a memory stick type thingy? Both laptops are running through the same router so i was wondering if there is a way to basicly drag the files from one cpu to the other. Sidenote- i can't download AIM for whatever reason so transfering via AIM is out of the question |

Re: File transfer?
If you're running windows you can always use windows file sharing. If you remember your administrator password you don't even have to set anything up. Just type \\<machine ip>\c$ into a windows explorer window. (edit: this is called the administrative share in case you wanted to know. Its always on.)
where <machine ip> is your other computer ie 192.168.1.1 otherwise just look up windows file sharing how to on google and you should find a lot. |

Re: File transfer?
Both machines are on the same router? That means they are on the same network. Turn on file sharing and look for the other computer in Explorer>Network Places.
