Transfering data

A younger cousin of mine has started to play WOW, and doesn't want to install it via massive download or CDs, then download the 2gb or so patches.

MY WOW however is up to date, meaning he could log on and play, at first I told him to fuck off and do it how I had to, his mother didn't like my choice of words so bow Im stuck with it. Problem is, I don't have a 30gb + External HDD lying around.

Is it possible to transfer the files between my laptop and his PC?

right click on your wow folder, "sharing"
make it read only, then find your computers IP (ipconfig in command prompt), then from his machin go \\your.ip.here in explorer

it should see the files shared out, then you just go grab the ones you want and copy them to his lappy

I remember putting warcraft or warcraft 2 on floppies to play over the phone lines with a neighbour and the last one failing.

doom 2 - 5 floppies
duke 3d - 13
wolf 3d - 4
win95 - 28
war2 - 200ish
command and conquer - 14
lemmings - 1

Since it's him and his snot nosed mother that wants it, tell them to go out & buy an external hard drive and you'll do it. Why should you put yourself out with all the hassle?

External HDDs are awesome, A good investment if you take your files around to your mates place.
