    Are the machines already networked? If so, you need to share the folders you want to access on the remote machine's HDD. Here's a tutorial that might help: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/24232-sharing-permissions.html?filter[2]=Networking%20Internet

    I mean controlling the HDD of the other PC. Sorry for my english.

    example:

    Comp 1 = This computer
    Comp 2 = Other computer

    I wanna send an file to Comp 2 via Comp 1.
    But i wanna use the file when its not anymore on Comp 1, but Comp 2.

    hi CommandoBob :)

    sure its possible,there are a few solutions, i think the easiest would be to give one of the computers harddrive full access through the network, that way you have to install any programs :)
    ( make sure ur the only one in the network when it's shared or ppl you trust )

    another way is to use a ftp program

    you can also control the other computer / harddrive, with example Remote administrator, also msn / skype :)

    hope this helps :)
