RvnRooRon84 SG I have 2 huge files (738MB and 2.38GB files) that I wish to transfer from a Desktop to a Laptop. How can I go about doing it? - Desktop only have a CD-writer, no DVD-writer. - Uploading to file-hosting takes very long( forget about Email attachments) - I have no external harddrive. Is there some sort of transfer cable (USB-type) that can help me accomplish the task? (me comp-n00b so not sure about such stuffs) Thanks in advance!
StarPuppy SG what my class does is we use cross-over cable to connect to each other and we will copy our files over to the sharing folder as for the data transfer speed..i am not sure about the speed of the transfering thats what i know..maybe the rest have some better solutions than me
dork3d SG Is your laptop bluetooth capable? If so, get a bluetooth dongle for your desktop and transfer files using bluetooth technology...
kwlee SG got hook up both computer wif a cross cable. wait for them to get a ip usually 169.xxx.xxx.xxx den go share the folder where the files is located. den go to the other computer. type \\169.xxx.xxx.xxx *might prompt u for login den u see ur folder den u copy and paste
manyu882 SG connect computers using USB to USB cable crossover cables brief ex: crossover cables are different from ethernet cables. they look the same but the ordering of the wires placed is different
RvnRooRon84 SG Thanks guys fir the suggestion! To dork3d: Yup the laptop is bluetooth-enabled and the desktop has a external bluetooth device then can be plugged in; but like thoreldan has said, it'll take a lonng time! I tried it and well, too much time! To kwlee: With manyu882's links, I understand the works of a cross-cable but I'm not sure how to built one. Perhaps the peeps at Sim Lim can help no? To manyu882: Yup, I was thinking of the connecting 2 computers using a USB cable and from that link I realised I can't just use a normal A/A one, else it'll spoil the comps! So, I'll settle with the Bridged A/A USB cable then. Another question, if both are available at SLS, which will be more cheaper? The cross-cable or Bridged A/A USB cable?
Farmerseed SG Get ethernet cable, connect to both ends RJ-45, set up a network at "my network places". transfer file. Basically most people with a portable external hard disk can do all the transfering anyway they like so transfering files even up to 10~20 GB should not be a problem to most computer users at all if they have the hardware.
manyu882 SG cross over cables cheaper( cos no need motherboard in the middle like usb to usb one).. u can buy the already made cross overcables or can ask the uncle in sim lim to DIY…. i think these DIY cables exist in those ulu ulu shops
