Why do you want to transfer files from PC to PC using Ethernet?

There are multiple ways to transfer files from one PC to another, including using a USB flash drive, external hard drive, cloud storage service, email, WiFi, or an Ethernet cable. To transfer files between two computers, you can utilize an Ethernet cable or LAN cable for the process.

    1. When you don't have access to a wireless network.
    2. When you want to transfer large files faster than using a USB or WiFi.
    3. When you don't use OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.

Using an Ethernet cable is one of the fastest methods to transfer files from PC to PC without a network. The following is the step-by-step guide to transfer files from PC to PC using Ethernet cable or LAN cable.

Moreover, we also present a workaround to move files, programs, user accounts, and settings with a handy PC data transfer tool if you find that using Ethernet doesn't fulfill your requirements.

Place the following value on the 1st PC:

  • IP Address 192.168.1.2
  • Subnet Mask 225.225.225.0

connect two computers

Place the following value on the 2nd PC:

  • Ip Address 192.168.1.3
  • Subnet mask 225.225.225.0

connect two computers

5. Once the IP addresses have been assigned successfully, you'll see the two computer names in the Network settings.
