How to Share Files Wirelessly

Many households have more than one computer. For instance, professionals who work outside the home may have a laptop computer for work and a desktop computer at home. Being able to share files between computers is a tremendous advantage and time saver. By far, the easiest way to do this is by connecting the computers to a local area network. Here's how to share files wirelessly though a local area network (LAN).

STEP1:-Set up your wireless network.

• Modern Internet Service Providers (ISP) will supply a wireless modem/router combination or gateway when you sign up for their service. If you only have a modem, or if your router is Ethernet only, you will need to purchase a wireless router.
• Connect the first computer to your wireless router or gateway via Ethernet cable to establish the Internet connection. Once that has been set up, you can connect all of the computers to the router or gateway through a Wi-Fi connection to share files.

 

STEP2:-Connect each computer with files to be shared to the router or gateway via Wi-Fi.

• On PCs running Windows Vista or Windows 7, use the Network and Sharing Center available in the computer's Control Panel.
• On a Mac, enable the Airport utility in the System Preferences' Network window to connect to the wireless network.

 

STEP3:-Enable file sharing for your files.

• On a PC, right-click the folders holding files that you want to share and choose "Share." Add the user IDs created on the computer to the list of those who will have access and click the Share button.
• On a Mac computer, click the Apple logo, choose the System Preferences options and then choose "Sharing." Add folders by clicking the plus sign in the Shared Folders window. Select other users that will have access to the files you want to share.

STEP4:- Connect to the other computers on your LAN.

• On a PC, use the Network selection on the Start menu. All computers connected to the LAN should appear listed in the window. Double-click the computer name, then enter the login ID and password for that computer.
• On a Mac, open the Finder. All files that were designated to be shared are listed under the Shared section in the Finder's sidebar
