you can now upload, download, delete, rename, view, and edit files, but not execute programs. It works similar to an FTP connection, i.e. If your computer also has one or more parallel ports, Total Commander will ask for the port which you want to use. Therefore select 'Server' on one machine, and 'Client' on the other.

You will be working on the client, while Total Commander cannot be used on the server during the connection. One machine will act as a server, and one as a client. On both machines, select 'Net' - 'PORT connection to other PC'. You only need 1 licence if you are the only user. You need a special cable for the USB cable connection! This cable has a small device in the middle which forwards the data from one computer to the other! Normal USB cables will NOT work, and could damage the USB port(s) if you connect them to your computers! Important safety instructions - please read: The function cannot be used to create a network (you need network cards and network cabling for that) but instead it is a fast and simple way to copy, move, synchronize etc. It supports a transfer rate of up to 20 Megabytes/sec, depending on the speed of the PCs and virus scanners.

This cable can be found in online shops under the name "Windows Easy Transfer Cable". The USB connection allows to transfer files between two computers over a special USB cable.
