    Simple way to hare files between 2 PCs ?


    Two desktop PCs, Windows 10, on the same workbench, one meter apart, each is for a specific task.

    There are times that I need one or a few files which are saved on the other PC. I need something like a USB cable linking the 2 PCs so that I can access files on either one of the two. Do not want anything sophisticated. just a simple piece of cable if possible.

    Your suggestions, please?

    Thank you.

    A crossover Ethernet cable is a type of Ethernet cable used to connect computing devices together directly.

    The Ethernet cable will occupy the internet port. How do I use the internet if the Ethernet cable is plugged in?Do I have to have some kind of a hub?

    Looks like you can only do PC-to-PC, etc with an Ethernet crossover cable: see What are Ethernet Crossover Cables? | Computer Cable Store
