On the destination pc (pc2) you need to make a mapping to the "host" pc (pc1) it's hard drive or shared folder. (Connect network drive) When the mapping is made, from within Windows or DOS, on the destination pc (pc2) at the DOS prompt type in: copy e:\folder\file c:\folder[Enter]key or copy e:\folder\*.* c:\folder[Enter]key.
The above is ofcourse assuming that e: is the driveletter to which the shared drive or folder on the host pc (pc1) is mapped. Folder is the folder where the source file is located, file is ... and *.* is a wildcard to copy the entire contents of folder. C:\Folder is the destination folder on the destination pc (pc2).
Hope this helps.
