Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Networking / February 2006Downloading
Win98SE, ThinkPad 770E Is there a way to download directly to another computer on a 2 computer peer-to-peer? I tried saving through c:\windows\desktop, to a shortcut I had previously pulled out of Network Neighborhood and thus to the relevant drive. I expected to see list of shared drives on the other computer, but when I selected the computer shortcut the file name switched to (comuter).lnk and asked if I wanted to change it. I know how to move the file after downloading. I'm just asking if there isn't a direct route. Jim L via the eCS 1.24 version of OS/2  SignaturePoliticians: Their lips move too much. It still gets you to the remote folder, though, right? Except that the name changes? You just have to change it back, or: In the Save dialogue, you should be able to navigate to the remote folder using Network Neighborhood. Navigate first to the Desktop, then to Network Neighborhood. There should be no name changes along the way. SignatureGary S.

You just have to change it back, or: Having no clue what .lnk represents or why I would want to replace it I backed off. Just now I went back and tried it. After that the shortcut would do nothing at all, so I deleted and replaced it. >In the Save dialogue, you should be able to navigate to the remote >folder using Network Neighborhood.

Hm, I didn't realize until I just tried it that via the Mozilla Saveas dialog the desktop appeared above My Computer in the first system dialog. I just didn't see it. That does work. Going the other way, Network Neighborhood doesn't even appear. Thanks. Jim L via the eCS 1.24 version of OS/2 SignaturePoliticians: Their lips move too much. |
