The way I do that is to use the hidden share for the C drive on the source machine.
Say I'm logged into bob. I go to a command prompt and type
copy \\fred\c$\pete.txt
Unless you have the C: root on Fred shared out in some other way. Right click on the C: drive in MY Computer and select Sharing and Security. C$ is the default share, which is hidden, but you could easily create a new share name for that location if you wanted to.

A- Are you sure you are typing the name correctly and
B- What is the OS of the other machine? Can you confirm that they can see each other over the network?
If you are sitting at bob and type dir "\\fred\c$" at the cmd prompt what do you get?

That would be a problem. You must first resolve the connection issue before you can move files between PCs.
Embrace your inner geek.
