[Ham-Computers] And I thought it was going to be easy~~

[Philip (KO6BB)]

Depending on how many files you have and how large they are, a simple USB 
Memory Stick might just do the job.  Copy the files you want to the stick, 
put it in the other machine and transfer them.  Memory sticks are VERY 
inexpensive now (and I'd be lost without mine).
