how do I connect two windows xp computers using a usb cable to move
files from one computer to the other?

Hi Demos,

   This USB cable is by far the easiest way I have ever found to
connect two PCs for file transfers. No network needed, no code, no
router or hubs.

   The software, installed on both PCs (Windows XP compatible), will
create a window, similar in appearance to Windows Explorer. The screen
will be divided into two, displaying files from each PC. You then
simply drag files from one PC to the other. It's very easy. The cost
is $19.99 USD

"Need to transfer files fast from 2 USB equipped computers? You dont
need to invest in network hardware and software, or be bothered with
configuring a network. Simply use our extremely handy USB to USB file
sharing cable. Plug it into both computers and use the included
software to move the files!"

Another option, depending on the number of files you need to transfer,
is a USB drive, known as external USB drives, pen drives, flash
drives, cigar drives, etc. are an option as well. Plug it into one PC,
transfer files to the USB drive, then plug it into the second PC, and
transfer the files onto the PC!

I've used both methods, and they each work well. Which method you
choose depends on what would work best for your situation.

I'm sure you'll find one of the above will do the trick for you!

Thanks, I will give it a try

For this, you need to install USB network between the two computers.
For a step by step procedure to do this, see:

To transfer the files from the computer, you need to share the folder
which contains your files. Then those files are visible from the other
computer and you can copy-paste them.

Hi

here is my comment,

First u need to connect two computers like (Port COM 1, of file
sending computer <----connected to----> Port COM 2 of file receciving
computer).

Second u should have USB file transfering software(which u can write
using c/c++ languages).
