make some folder shared
(how ? depends on wich OS you using)
and place files there

example:
pc1 name tank
pc2 name bank
shared folder on pc1 share1

from pc2 type in explorer adress bar or in "run" window (win+r)
\\tank\share1
now you could see all content of the folder
dload or upload smth


winXP:
right button on folder -> properties or sharing & security
possible problems:

add guest in security tab to allow them read folder over the net
enable guest account
allow guest to access pc from net / deny local login for guest

or
make other account to allow access over lan

If you dont want to rely on proprietary microsoft-protocols I recommend you to set up a FileZilla FTP-Server. It is very easy to configure and you will be able to connect to it with any free FTP-Client such as SmartFTP or FileZilla Client.

It may take a little longer but after you've worked yourself into it, you can at least say that you know how to install and use an FTP.

Good luck

Yea depending on the OS -enable
1.File and Preinter sharing
2.Client for Microsoft Networks
3.Make sure all PC are from the same "workgroup"
4.Right click on the folder you want to share and click the "share this folder"
5.Click the map network drive from the other PC and the shared folder should appear
under the "browse" button.




one thing you don't want is for people to access your shared folders from the
internet,check the router's settings for that but it should firewall these (135-138 ) ports.

Note that MS2k and Up (XP, Vista etc...) now use port 445 for most of this.

MacOSX Leopard also supports CIFS/SMB mounting via tcp/445. I have sucessfully mounted drives between my XP system, my Win2k system, my OSX Leopard, and my OSX Leopard Server all via SMB/CIFS.

Windows:

[RUN], then type in \\192.168.1.3\C$ (or whatever IP address is of the target machine), and voila, up it comes. Connecting to MACOSX is simmilar. i.e. \\192.168.1.3\john

MACOSX:

[FINDER->GO->CONNECT TO SERVER], then type "smb://192.168.1.3/" or whatever IP you wish to connect to for it's drives. You may have to enter your windows password here to properly authenticate.

The other essential piece of kit thesedays is a FreeNAS environment.
Great way of using ancient old kit and a few hard-drives you have lying around.

A very simple guide here.
Build your own NAS using FreeNAS | geekyprojects.com

Personally i would recommend the XFX REVO64 SATA controller card instead of the one listed here, and until you have plugged an old CF card into an IDE adaptor and booted into a nice linux server environment you haven't lived.

FreeNAS: The Free NAS Server - Home

sure there are lots of more complicated and more functional and comprehensive solutions but its a very cheap backup or network storage solution.
