Easier would just be to plug them both into your router as then you can skip configuring IP addresses manually. Whatever you do you shouldn't need software, though I would personally use Fastcopy becuase if Windows file copy craps out, you have to start over. And Fastcopy is faster. 
Or use a USB drive if you have one lying around. |
So hauling one computer to the switch, or at least to a wall port that's wired to the switch, is an easier option? I can probably manage that.
Thanks for the recommendation of Fastcopy. I assume I can just select a drive letter for copying? The fact that the drive I'm copying will also be in use running Windows won't cause me any issues, correct?
I'll have to figure out how to configure Windows networking. It's something I've never had much success with and kind of never bothered to learn how to make it work, but I guess now is as good a time as any.
