Sending Files To Other Computers - McAfee INTERNET SECURITY SUITE 2008 User Manual

Sending files to other computers

You can send files to other computers that are members of the
managed network. Before sending a file, EasyNetwork confirms
that the computer receiving the file has enough disk space
available.
When you receive a file, it appears in your EasyNetwork inbox.
The inbox is a temporary storage location for the files that other
computers on the network send you. If you have EasyNetwork
open when you receive a file, the file instantly appears in your
inbox; otherwise, a message appears in the notification area at
the far right of your taskbar. If you do not want to receive
notification messages (for example, they are interrupting what
you're doing), you can turn this feature off. If a file with the same
name already exists in the inbox, the new file is renamed with a
numeric suffix. Files remain in your inbox until you accept them
(copy them to your computer).
Send a file to another computer
You can send a file to another computer on the managed network
without sharing it. Before a user on the recipient computer can
view the file, it must be saved to a local location. For more
information, see Accept a file from another computer

Drag the file from its location in Windows Explorer to an

Tip: To send multiple files to a computer, press CTRL when
selecting the files. You can also send files if you click
Tools menu, select the files, and then click Send.
Accept a file from another computer
If another computer on the managed network sends you a file,
you must accept it by saving it on your computer. If EasyNetwork
is not running when a file is sent to your computer, you receive a
notification message in the notification area at the far right of
your taskbar. Click the notification message to open EasyNetwork
and access the file.
Click Received, and then drag the file from your EasyNetwork
inbox to a folder in Windows Explorer.
Tip:
You can also receive a file from another computer if you
select the file in your EasyNetwork inbox, and then click
on the Tools menu. In the Accept to folder dialog box, navigate to
the folder where you want to save the files you are receiving,
select it, and then click Save.
