Connect two computers through lan wire for file transfer

Tried On : Windows 7 and 8.
May Also work with : Windows Vista

So you have huge amount of data to be transferred from one computer to another? You can do it easily with a lan wire/ ethernet cable at >10MBps. It is very easy to do it without any third party software like ip messenger. Here are the steps to achieve this :

Requirements : You don't need internet at all just a Ethernet cable and two computers .
Procedure :
1. Go into your Network and Sharing center and make sure all of the options for sharing are enabled on both computers.
2. On the computer that has the files, go into where the file location is and then right click it and choose "Share With" then click "Specific people", at the top is a drop bar click it and choose "Everyone" then when its there click the Add button, then choose "Read/Write" in the drop bar, it initially will say just "Read". Now your file will show up in the proper folder when you chose that computer later. Make sure you do this step with each file you wanna share.

3. This is the important part cause in the end you can turn this function on or off if you decide you don't wanna be sharing anymore.

Windows VISTA. Go into Network and Sharing center and at the bottom disable "Password Protected Sharing".
Windows 7/8 : Go to the same area Network and Sharing and on the left "Advanced Sharing Setting" click and find the Less word Protected Sharing option and disable.

4. Now hook up both computers directly to each other with the Ethernet cable and wait for the receiving computer to recognize the connection.
5. Now go and disconnect your receiving computers "WiFi" connection and make sure after that your still connected to your computer however, you should still be connected, so then after the connection is off it will only receive connection from your sending computer
5. Then inside network and sharing click on the left option Computers and Devices. Click the name of your computer that's sending and just click the appropriate folders idk where you save your stuff so just go through the folders and choose the file you "shared with everyone" and copy and paste it to the folder you choose.

Now it should be transferring faster than 10mbs, if its not and its only going like 500-800kbs then that means both computers aren't using the manual Ethernet connection and trying to do it through WiFi but thats why you have to shut the WiFi off or disconnect from the WiFi network on the receiving computer cause it makes a DRASTIC difference.

Tips for Linux+windows8 dual boot users

So you are using your favourite linux distro in dual boot with windows 8 and you put your stuff in an NTFS partition and access it from both the OS? Here are some things to consider in order to stay out of troubles.
Problems you may face are :
1. Windows frequently keeps asking me to reapair NTFS partition. Once i repair it, the problem occurs again after a few days.
2. While using linux OS i can't see some files and folders on my NTFS partition which actually exist on the NTFS partition. They can be accessed while using windows but linux fails to show them in the partition.

Info :
This basically happens because of Windows 8 "fast startup" feature. You can google it for more information. Linux cannot handle this perfectly which results in all the problems. Also for unknown reasons the NTFS drive gets split in peculiar way as shown in figure.

This is a snapshop of linux /media directory. Here 01CD1F0FE77B9960 is the name given to a NTFS partition which has 4 variants here : 01CD1F0FE77B9960, 01CD1F0FE77B9960_, 01CD1F0FE77B9960__, 01CD1F0FE77B9960___. This is the cause for second problem. Because you may be looking for your file in "01CD1F0FE77B9960" but it may be residing in "01CD1F0FE77B9960_". I guess the reason is that when linux writes to a NTFS partition it creates a different variant for it by putting an underscore to its name.

Solutions :

For Problem 1 : Just turn off windows 8 fast startup feature

For Problem 2 : It is clear that your files and folders are not lost, they are at a different location .

Therefore just look for your desired file or folder in all the variants as described in "Explaination" section.

You may want to merge the variants of the partition.

For example you have four variants in the /media directory :

01CD1F0FE77B9960, 01CD1F0FE77B9960_, 01CD1F0FE77B9960__, 01CD1F0FE77B9960___

1. Backup the contents of 01CD1F0FE77B9960_, 01CD1F0FE77B9960__ and 01CD1F0FE77B9960___ into 01CD1F0FE77B9960.

2. Move 01CD1F0FE77B9960_, 01CD1F0FE77B9960__ and 01CD1F0FE77B9960___ to trash.

Thats it! At present NTFS splitting problem does not seem to be preventable, you can just cure it time to time.
