Whether you’ve purchased a new computer or want to retrieve files from another computer, you’ll probably want to move the files all at once. If both computers have Ethernet ports, you can do this any number of ways, using a Cat5 cable. Windows XP supports a file transfer method known as Direct Cable Connection, which connects two computers with a special Cat5 cable. Windows Vista doesn’t support this method but will allow file transfer over an existing network. Warnings Writer Bio
