To transfer data from one PC to another, you need to have the 2 or more PC's to be connected to one another, either through cables and/or cables and switch/hub.
If you have wish to connect just 2 PC's, you may opt for parellel port connection. This is done by using one cable and connecting the PC's through LAN (using a network card on each PC). The same applies for connecting through a switch or hub. In this case the connect goes through the LAN card to the switch/hub.
You also need to configure the TCP/IP settings on each computer. Ideally you may have a DHCP or the TCP/IP property.

Do you want technical details of a specific file transfer, or just how to get data from one to the other? What protocol do you want to use for the transfer, SMB. HTTP, FTP, or another?
Normally you just make sure both machines are in the same workgroup. Then you would share the directory you want on each machine and use the My Network Places to copy files just like you would any other folder. Search online for Windows XP File Sharing Tutorial and I'm sure you'll find a zillion pages that describe it.

There are a number of techniques to attempt this, although all of them both take pc journey or money... the finest way ought to probably be to bypass out an purchase a quite large exterior USB troublesome disk, perhaps 100 and fifty-300GB or so. you ought to be able to hit upon a real looking one for round $one hundred. yet in a distinct way must be to set your pcs up on a community, both determining to purchase a crossover ethernet cable as stated above, or purchase utilising known ethernet cables and a hub. and ultimately, the most inconvenient of all of them ought to probably be to purchase bluetooth adapters for both pcs and move the files that way.

Those procedures are called in network world „protocols” and there are many different ones.Book explaining TCP protocol (just one protocol) has 3 volumes each over 400 pages.
