This is the easiest method to share files from one computer to another using a LAN cable. I use LAN cable connecting my modem and computer to share files between 2 PCs usually. Try these simple steps.

 

Note these: You want to access files from PC2 in your computer PC1. You have to set up a password for the user in PC2. You have to enter its username and password when asked. Windows doesn’t let you to access a computer with a blank password due to Account restriction.

Here I’m sharing drive E.
