Built my first computer (8Mhz 8088cpu, 640K RAM, 20MB HDD, 2 360K floppy drives) in 1985 and have been building them for myself, relatives and friends ever since.
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 :)
