there's a couple of ways to do this....
1. if the files are small, a USB stick will work just fine.
2. if the files are large... or there are a large number of files and folders that need to be transferred, the easier way is to set up a PEER TO PEER network connection.
I just set this up on my new DAW with my lappy DAW. This works really well. There are several ways to set this up.
You can use a normal cat5 cable for each computer and a network switch... handy if you have this stuff laying around not being used. IF NOT.... and you need to buy stuff.... simply buy a CAT5 CROSSOVER cable. plug one end into one computer and the other end into the other computer. It's just a matter of allowing network discovery on both computers.... setting up a few things and waaa laaa... send files back and forth all day long at fast speeds.
here is a link to a help site....
http://www.chicagotech.net/workgroupsetup.htm I actually started through one of these "how-to" sites when I realized that the network connection was already functional on my 2 machines....
they both must be in the same work group.... this is a sweet way to do what you want.
if that site doesn't help... google this..there are a bunch of sites.. some better and easier to understand than others.
edit: I'm not a computer geek and I had this running in a matter of minutes.
