Transfer files using ethernet

hello
Since Xmas I have been trying to connect my desktop PC to a Laptop or another desktop computer using the ethernet ports installed in the machines. All three are less than one year old and are Windows XP machines.
I am trying to copy files from one machine to another.
I have read countless help and internet info pages but have never managed to transfer files between machines.
The use of jargon in these so called help files makes it impossible for me to understand.
Any suggestions on where to get a plain english tutorial on how to do use Ethernet ?
regards

You want to use your Mac and "share network connection"? or they are all off the same router.
On the Mac you have tried enabling Personal File Sharing Services but can't discover or use Bonjour?
Have you looked at any books like Pogue's "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual" or similar...
A home network with shared internet connection and sharing files is common enough, I've just never used Vista or Windows and Mac for sharing files. Some people find Sharepoints makes the process easier.

  • Cannot transfer files using Creative Media Sou

    I cannot Cannot transfer files using from my PC to my Creative Jukebox 0GB using Creative Media Source. Since I installed Windows Media Player 0, it seems that Windows Media Player 0 is the only program enabled to transfer files to my creative Jukebox. I would just go ahead and use Media Player, but Media Player won't let me change my library to one designated music file folder location. Media Player wants to find every copy of the same song on my system and is very difficult to use to transfer the files to my Jukebox device. Is there any fix to make Creative Media Source the preferred (or only) program used to transfer the files from PC to device?

    i am having a similar problem, although i have not downloaded windows media player 0. The creative mediasource software wont let me transfer songs onto my zen touch (20G). i only got the player a couple of days ago and it only has about 400 songs on it so far so there's no problem with the memory. I had problems before where it wouldnt let me upload anything that began with a letter after 's' in the alphabet! i solved this (no idea how) but the problem seems to have come back and now it wont let me up load anything. When i atempt to, it comes up with the prompt "unable to read file. file may be in use, missing or corrupted." (which they arent as far as i know) I also, for some reason, cannot play any songs through creative mediasource - even though i could a few hours ago!
    Please could someone help as this is very frustrating!!!!!!

  • Transfer files using the Personal Communicator

    All,
    Can I transfer files using the Personal Communicator?
    Does anyone have a user guide and administrator guide about how to configure and use this facility?
    Thank you,
    Luciane de Medeiros

    No you cannot. You would need jabber for that.
    Q.
    Can Cisco  Unified Personal Communicator and Cisco Jabber for Windows  interoperate?
    A.
    Yes, these two clients can interoperate.   Please note though that features that are not part of the Cisco Unified  Personal Communicator client; such as screen capture, video desktop sharing, and file transfer; are not interoperable between the  two clients.

  • Need to transfer files using sftp via java api's.

    Hi,
    I got a requirement to transfer files using sftp via java api's.
    Kindly specify any 3rd party Java Libraray to do this.
    The requirements are
    -It must support extensive encryption algorithms.
    -It must allow generating public/private keys and authenticating with server by sending the keys first(before the actual file transmission).
    Thanks.

    Don't resurrect old threads, please. Start your own thread.
    Better yet: google for "Java SFTP", look at what you find and come back when you have a specific question.
    And: when you ask a specific question, then clarify if you're talking about the [SSH file transfer protocol|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol] or about FTPS, which is sometimes (wrongly) called SFTP.

  • Getting a G4 and MacBook Pro to transfer files via ethernet

    Thank you for the help on setting up file sharing. File sharing looks to be working on both computers (now) but it prompts a new question: I now have a problem with the ethernet connection. I unlugged my cable modem ethernet cable and connected it to the ethernet port on the back of the G4 and to the MacBook Pro ethernet slot (as recommended in Mac Help). I opened File Sharing in both computers. I've followed the steps in Mac Help to get the MacBook Pro to recognize the G4 so I can start transfering files to the MBP. No success getting them to "see" each other.
    It appears that the MacBook Pro wants me to do it over the Internet but Mac Help is telling me I can do it directly from computer to computer since I've got them connected via the ethernet cable. (Step 3. is "connect to server" and, once connected, there is a "browse" option). My hope is to use the G4 as the "server" but I can't determine how to make the MBP connect to the G4 so I can transfer files. (each computer has a different name.)
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the suggestion. In following your recommendation I get a window on my MBP that says, "Connection failed. The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name of IP address."
    In trying to "connect," I've inserted the ethernet cable into the port on the MBP and the G4. So, I'm not connected to the cable modem. Since there is only one ethernet port on each computer, that seemed sensible. Maybe not.
    On the MBP I also tried, in the Sharing folder under "Internet," there is an option to share my built-in MBP ethernet connection with the built-in G4 ethernet. When I tried that a message popped up saying, "if you turn on this port, your ISP might terminate your service to prevent you from disrupting its network. In some cases (if you use a cable modem - which I do - you might unintentionaly affect the network settings of your ISP and violate the terms of your service agreement."
    On the G4 I've enabled file sharing and enabled file sharing clients to connect over TCP/IP.
    I don't know if this is relevant, but my TCP/IP on the G4 is configured to connect via Ethernet and configure using DHCP server.
    Thank you.
    The most consistent way I have found, is to use the
    IP address. The Browse function should work, but
    sometimes it does not.
    If you want to connect from the MBP to the G4 (G4's
    volume shows up on MBP desktop), you need to know the
    IP address of the G4. Go to the TCP/IP control panel
    (on the G4). You should see the G4's IP address
    there. Note it down.
    On the MBP, go to Menu -> Go -> Connect to Server...
    as you have already done. Instead of hitting the
    Browse, just type in that IP address where it says
    Server Address. Now hit the Connect button.
    You should be prompted for user name and password for
    the G4.

  • Can I transfer files using Bluetooth with an iPod Touch?

    I have just updated my iPod Touch to 3.0 and I heard that there is a stereo bluetooth feature. Can I somehow transfer files and media using it? (No jailbroken !!) If not, how can I use it?

    There is no file transfer via bluetooth, only music streaming to a compatible bluetooth headset.

  • Can you transfer files using Time Machine back-up to a new computer?

    I have an early 2006 iMac and would like to get a new one. Would I be able to copy the files that I want moved to the new computer by using my Time Machine back-up? I would only want to transfer a handful of items including my iTunes and iPhoto libraries as well as my iWork files.

    You most certainly can. What you want to do is to go to System Preferences>Time Machine>Advanced> and exclude everything except the files you want to bring over. Then, plug the Time Machine Backup into the new machine and use Setup Assistant; It'll walk you through the rest.
