HOW TO SHARE FILES

My Desktop name is WORKSTATION and
Laptop name is HP.

In WORKSTATION (Desktop)

Step 1 : Create a new user account in WORKSTATION . I made a user account "Gospius" and set a new password to it. Login into Gospius account and wait for config itself . After successfully Login, Logout from  Gospius and login into you old account.

Step 2 : Share a folder or local disk in WORKSTATION and also you can set permissions (default is Read only). Take folder or local disk Properties->Sharing->Advanced Shareing . Tick the check box (set permissions if need).

Step 3 : Connect LAN cable to between HP and WORKSTATION.

Now take HP (laptop)
