How to use a 1394 connection to connect computers

It can be a long and tedious process to transfer data from one computer to another, especially when the content is loaded to a USB device, then the hardware is disconnected and finally plugged into the second computer. To make the task easier and faster, you can use a FireWire cable, also known as an IEEE 1394 or iLink cable, which directly links the two computers. This is not only a faster cable connection, but the direct transfer of data reduces the transfer time of an external hard drive or flash drive.

one

Plug the cable into one of the FireWire connection ports on the first computer. Plug the other end of the cable into a similar port on the second computer. Momentarily, both teams claim that their systems have detected new connected devices.

two

Find the file on the computer from which you want the data transfer and click on it. Select the option "Properties" in the drop-down menu.

3

Select the "Share" option. You will be given several transfer options. Select the FireWire cable and click "OK". The file or folder will now transfer from one computer to another.

4

Repeat the process for any other folder or file that you want to transfer.
