    i was trying to copy a large file from one computer to another. i was wondering if it was possible to copy it over a wireless home connection. My USB is too small and i only hav one ethernet table.

    thanks

    If both are connected to your router then just set up file sharing. Just make sure they are on the same work group.

    But I think it will be slow. If you are onto big file sharing then seek for alternative.
