Now that I've connected my VPN, how do I use it to transfer files?

Question

I've successfully set up a Windows XP VPN between my laptop and desktop computers. Now how do I transfer files back and forth over it?

Answer 1

You need to share the files or folders you want to transfer.

either share your whole c drive or just share the files you want to transfer.

to share a folder (has to be in a folder)

right click the folder
select properties
And then sharing
select share this folder
give it a name
click ok

Search for the connected computer from My Network Places, and transfer the files you shared.


Hope that helped

Answer 2

Note that if the computers are in the same location, you don't need a VPN. Just set up a Workgroup and then you can view/connect between the computers and drag and drop files between them - simple.

If the computers are not on the same physical network, then you can setup a VPN to connect them using the Internet. However, once you have done this, the computers will *appear* to be on the same physical network, and you can mount shared drives or directly open Windows Explorer windows for shared drives on the connected computer, and drag and drop files.

Answer 3

Search for the connected computer from My Network Places.

From there you can transfer files to the other computer.
