You need to enable file sharing correctly on both computers, also please disable firewall (Windows firewall, antivirus firewall, etc) on both computers temporary until you have shared file successfully.

Open your file explorer, then type \\<remote-PC-IP> (example \\192.168.1.1) to connect the remote PC directly, see whether it works..
