HOW TO USE COMMAND PROMPT TO SHARE FILES OVER WIFI



Follow this steps to configure your laptop to share files with other laptops on a wifi.

make sure you press the space bar key once any where you see (space)

step1: Open command prompt as admin, then type the following codes


Step 2.  netsh(space) wlan (space)set(space) hostednetwork(space) mode=allow(space) ssid="PUT THE NAME OF YOUR WLAN HERE E.G MINE IS NELSON-PC"(space)key=12345678  press (ENTER KEY)
Step 3.  netsh(space) wlan(space) start(space) hostednetwork(press ENTER KEY)

step4: Go to network on your system click on the display name of your pc. e.g mine is NELSON-PC

then you would see a folder with a green color under it called "users"
double click on it and drop all files you want to share on the folder name called public
thats all.

the other pc can copy the file from the same folder called public under the same network directory.

NOTE: that in order to avoid any network password issues, once connection is extablished open "my network" and then click on "network and sharing centre", then at the left panel of the window you just opened click on "change advanced sharing settings", then "turn off password-protected sharing"

NOTE: the key 12345678 can be any 8 digit number e.g 11111111
