Does any 1 know about networking problem?

I want to ask that two PCs are connected with network. A folder is on sharing contains 4 files. I make changes in file 1 of folder from PC1, copy this file and past it at PC2 through networking. Is this method is best or I should delete that file from PC2 shared folder and then paste the latest updated file from PC1 to PC2 through networking? Please inform me clearly about it.

If PC2 needs to have the file then why not map a drive from PC1 to the shared folder on PC2 and edit it from the mapped drive. Just becareful and make a copy before you edit it.
Reply:If you have the sharing set up so that you or other users can make changes to the files then you can open and edit a file on pc1 and then copy and paste the changed file to pc2. However it can get confusing and you will have difficulty remembering which file is the most up to date file. What I have done on my network is have a folder called "work" where I place all the files that I am working on and then on the other computers on my network I have "Save" folders shared. So no matter what computer I'm working on the most up to date versions are in the work folder and items in the save folder are either back ups or older versions. Of course the "work" folder is on my main computer because saving across a network can be slow.
Reply:A folder is already shared? Then why don't you keep the file there so that you can dispense with copying the updated file?





Unless you knew about that but the program wasn't well written to run across networks, then mount the shared folder as a local device; UNIX/Linux could've done this from the get-go and Windows is catching up on this with mountable subdirectories starting Win 2000. Windows can mount in a drive letter level starting long time ago.
