I have two laptops, two computers and an XBOX 360 all connected to the same router. The 360 and one of the desktop computers are wired to the router. The two laptops and other desktop computer are connected via wireless.
Usually I open up to separate MSN accounts on the two different computers I want to transfer the files between and then send them that way but I was wondering if there was actually a “proper” way to transfer files over my home network?
