How to share same files between two PCs?

[Dyumani]

I have 2 computers connected to a router on my home network.
One is XP the other is 98. I wanted to ask whether it is able to share files between them without compromising security?

One of the options is through My Network Places

To Connect to a Shared Folder by Using My Network Places

• On the desktop, double-click My Network Places.
• Double-click Computers Near Me.
• Double-click the appropriate computer in your workgroup. If you are prompted to do so, type the user name and password that is required to gain access to the computer to which you are connecting. After you type the appropriate credentials, a window opens that displays all of the shared folders and printers on the computer to which you are connecting.
• Double-click the shared folder to which you want to gain access. You then see all of the subfolders and files in that shared folder. What you can do with those subfolders and files depends on the level of permission you have been granted.

Shortcut Method:

Click Start, click Run, and then type the name using UNC format, where computername is the name of the computer to which you are attempting to connect and sharename is the name of the shared folder on that computer:
\\computername\sharename

For example, if you want to connect to a share that is named Songs on a computer that is named Computer99, type \\Computer99\Songs.

You can take them off the network, and simply use a cross-over cable between them. This is the best security available...completely free from network
