There’s no need to use Filezilla. Computers on the same network will already have access to each others files. That’s what a network is for anyway – sharing resources.
Itβs really pretty easy. You just need to put both computers into the same Workgroup, restart, and then access the files you want. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > System. Check the Computer’s name, you’ll need to know each of these. Also on this screen, you should see the Domain name or Workgroup name. Make sure both computers have the same Workgroup name. Make a change and restart if needed. After the restart, to access the remote computer, go to Start > Run, type computernamec$ and hit enter. Now you’re looking at the C drive of the remote computer. From here, just browse to the folder you want, and find your files. If you need to get to D, or E, or any other drive letter, type computernamed$ or computernamee$ , whatever one it is you’re trying to get to.
