Doing an experiment at home between my laptop and home PC.

The 2 are connected, and can see each others file shares. Both are win2k on a FAT32 partition. Now if i wanted transfer a file from my laptop to my home PC is no problem, but how can i install that file via a standard windows file share through windows explorer?

The way i use to do it was through a FTP server which could give you the execute rights, and you could execute the file on a remote PC, but is it because this is a FAT32 partition and not a NTFS on my home PC that i dont have the execute option?

Simply double clicking on it installs the file on my laptop not my home pc :)

If i have to have a partition that is NTFS to do this and enable execute rights, how can i do it over a FAT32 partition?

You need to use something like VNC or PC Anywhere to take control of the remote machine.

Damn it, that wasnt the answer i was looking for...


blah...

I would be better off seting up SERV-U FTP Server and giving myself execute rights and log on via FTP than through windows file share


oh well....
