How to transfer files from one laptop to another laptop using LAN cable
If we have two laptops at our home or office and want to transfer the files from one laptop to another laptop. we can use the pen drive for this purpose, but we need to insert the pen drive into first laptop then copy all the data after that we need to insert the pen drive into another laptop then copy the data. It is not at all good idea because it takes so much of time to copy the files from one laptop to another laptop,instead of that we can use the LAN cable to transfer the files from one laptop to another laptop or computer in half time compared to using with the help of pen drive.
