Easy method to share files between 2 computer (copy-paste)

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.

 

1) In PC2, right click on the folder or drive you want to share and select Properties. Choose Sharing tab and go for Advanced sharing. Select Share this folder and then OK.
Here I’m sharing drive E.
