Is it possible to transfer files between two computers using just an ethernet cable?

Yeah the guys at PARC did it.

?

ye

Network share on windows 10. I do this all the time with my laptop.

I used 1394 to transfer files between PCs back in muh day. Was easier than trying to make a crossover cable.

>crossover
it's not 1998 anymore you retards

no

Easy. Set a static IP with no default gateway for each machine in the same subnet. Then you can use sftp or anything else to move files around.

Put them both on the same subnet. Leave the gateway field empty. Crossover cable is no longer required nowadays, used to be.

you would have to connect your computers to a switch or use an ethernet crossover cable.
don't forget to assign them private ip addresses.

Yes, but you need two cables: one eth to USB(male) and one USB(female) to eth.

Static IP
192.168.0.5
Subnet 255.255.255.0

Put 192.168.0.6 on the other PC
Subnet 255.255.255.0

On the pc with the files right click > properties > sharing

Share to everyone

On the pc without the files in file explorer
\\192.168.0.5

You'll see the share

>Crossover cable is no longer required nowadays, used to be.

oh really? i didn't know that.

It's dealt with software side now

depends how old it is. many newer pc's are able to use one as a crossover cable. Otherwise no, you'd need a crossover cable.

Rsync over ssh

yes

>Is it possible to transfer files between two computers using just an ethernet cable?
Yes, but Jow Forums is full of newfags who didn't even know how to push the power button 1 year ago, so ignore all of the idiots who say no

Yeah any Ethernet cable works now

yes, absolutely, many different ways

Mine is, it's doing NAT, static routes and dynamic routes.
However you don't even need the ability to route to do what OP wants.

This. I do it all the time. Just static IP that shit and you're good to go. Any ethernet cable should work if at least one of your devices was manufactured after 1998.

No you'll have to upgrade to etherbate or wait for etherboros

Nope. I do it every fucking day with just a single cable and no intermediaries.

yes, mose net cards autodetect twist cable, and autotwist if needed

You don't need that if you have a Gigabyt Ethernet connection...

Yes. The joke is that it's remarkably easy.
Just manually give both machines an IP address, and then send data to that IP address.

>Windows
Yikes

stop falseflagging, nigger.

I had to look this up to make sure you weren't trolling. Auto MDI-X. It's terrifying how easily updated knowledge can slip under your radar.

You can also do it with two serial ports OP.

Why not just use a /30 subnet? Is this just a habit of people here to use /24?

What about parallel ports?

Mask of /24 covers the first 3 octets in the address. This is the "normal" mask for a class C subnet. Now that vlsm is a thing, you don't need to restrict yourself to the old class system, but just aligning subnet masks with the ip octets makes calculating ranges by hand a lot easier.

No networks do not exist ethernet is a lie don't believe everything you read on the internet.

If hes using .5 and .6 hes already using the usable hosts in network 192.168.0.4/30 which has the subnet 255.255.255.252, using only the last 2 bits for the network and he could use that instead of the /24 you for some reason decided to explain to me

Yes. Use the Ethernet cable to transfer the files from PC1 to your Google Drive, then disconnect PC1 and connect PC2. Now use the Google Drive app to sync your files to PC2.

Sorry. I guess I wasn't clear. Yes, using /24 is just a common habit (and is usually the default for home wireless routers). I was just trying to explain the rationale behind the habit. It's usually just easier to just say "fuck it, make it class c", and do the easy base 2 math. (It is simple enough with a /30, but shit gets annoying when you are using things like /17 or /21)

If you are using small a reserved private address range anyways, you probably don't need to worry about rationing out addresses so subnets are of a bare minimum size anyways.

>what is Auto MDI-X

Seems to me the bait was fairly good.

Convenience is a valid excuse i guess

I remember when I had to transfer files from some Win98 machine and had to install NetBEUI to do it.

Fucking NetBEUI. Less than 1% of the users here ever saw this shit.

Why not just use an /8 subnet?
There's only two hosts anyway and it is quicker to type.

Habbit for me

>not using scp

What is this? A crossover episode?

REMINDER RETARDS

You don't need a crossover cable (while they do still work too).
So literally any ethernet cable will work if you plug them between two computers, it's autoconfigure all the way.

nigger

wow this guy really gets subnetting!

shut the fuck up with your CCENT faggot

I'm pretty sure OP actually meant, "Can you store files on a cable like you would on a USB drive?" Like, export the files into the cable but they never arrive at their destination, but the bits are in place on the cable so you can just take the cable and plug it into a new computer when you reach your destination, and get the file from there. It would be cool if that was possible.

I hope not.

/g doesn't know networking. Hell I work in IT and I can tell you most windows server admins can't subnet for shit

>I work in IT
Liar. Why are you here then?

Modern PCs can do it without crossover.

Yes. The biggest problem for people knowing a little about something is making it over complicated just to show off what they think they know.
There's almost no reason to bother with subnetting in a home environment. Certainly no reason to bother in the case of two directly linked computers.
If you have to think for a second about which subnet to use then you've already wasted your time, because anything short of /31 is fine.

And, yes, at one point I did split my house up into a bunch of subnets before I realized it was pointless.

>I work in IT
come clean up my computer doodoo you digital janitor

I am pretty sure that even fast Ethernet had auto crossover. I play with computers since 20 years ago and i used a real crossover cable maybe once.

And i soldered my own serial port data cables

Why would you want to? Set up an FTP server and do it that way

done that too, a lot faster than rs232, but not as well supported in software

You don't even need to set up static ips anymore if you're on windows, just let Windows do it's thing and it will give you an ip automatically on the range 169.254.0.0/16

I'll do it no problem. I charge 450 euro per day plus VAT

Some 100Mb had auto detect but.auto mdix was mandated by the 1gb eth standard

we need a /gr/ board so we don't have to share space with disgusting zoomers like this faggot

what do you think a router is, if not a computer tasked with routing data

It depended on how fancy your adapter was. Most of your consumer shit had Realtek 8139 or something similarly bare bones.

where tf are people even getting 100mbps ethernet adapters these days? GBe has auto-crossover on all GBe adapters and GBE is like 1999. srsly. PowerBook G4 had GBE.

Windows: key in "advanced sharing settings", disable password protected sharing, enable public folder access. key in "computer name" and learn the computer name. plug computers together. share a folder, give rights to "everyone" and also add "everyone" to the security tab (they are different things - you can have a share that gives access but can't read any files due to mismatching security). On the other computer, go to \\computername\sharename and enjoy gigabit p2p with only an ethernet cable.

Linux: i don't fucking know, linux is a box full of a hundred different protocols and they even replaced "ifconfig" with some other shit I can't remember so good --> fucking --> luck

Mac: macs can't even share files so lol

Use rsync idiot.

also to add: this entire scenario is why apipa exists

APIPA exists because everything is factory set to be a dhcp client by default.

One less thing us sys admins have to configure (we are becoming obsolete so fucking fast. Christ)

Yes. Don't worry about a crossover cable, computers and routers have been auto-detecting for about a decade now.

The other computer will show up as if you were both on a regular network

1Gb wasn't very economical until PCIe motherboards got traction in the early 00s. Same deal with 10G now. It's not unheard of, but most people aren't going to have it until it's a cheap PCIe 1x chip.

Yes, with a crossover cable. Or if you really want to go old school, you can use a DB9 serial cable. Good times.

Imagine being such a faggot you try to call other people out and being wrong. Get with the times, all modern shit has MDI-X.

is networking a good career?
was looking at some cisco cert courses for it
thinking about a career change

I did that with my PS3 because I sure as fuck wasn't going to dump shit on a USB stick every time, so surely PC to PC is possible.

stay mad

Yes

>Worth noting is the popular confusion between the names NetBIOS and NetBEUI. NetBEUI originated strictly as the moniker for IBM's enhanced 1985 NetBIOS emulator for token ring. The name NetBEUI should have died there, considering that at the time, the NetBIOS implementations by other companies were known simply as NetBIOS regardless of whether they incorporated the API extensions found in that emulator. For MS-Net, however, Microsoft elected to name its implementation of the NBF protocol "NetBEUI" – literally naming its implementation of the transport protocol after IBM's second version of the API. Consequently, even today, Microsoft file and printer sharing over Ethernet continues to be called NetBEUI, with the name NetBIOS commonly used only in reference to file and printer sharing over TCP/IP. In truth, the former is the NetBIOS Frames protocol (NBF), and the latter is NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NBT).

it is kind of funny though if you actually thought you needed a crossover cable in 2019

It's funny the CCNA exam still tests crossover cables.

Use a /2 like a real man
