On Otc.1, I bought a new netobook computer for my mother. But it seems that this item severely comfuse her, that she stored all the files she wants to use in her old one. Thus, I want to find a good way for her to fetch files from her old computer easily. And the problem is, although she has used computer for years, she’s still almost fresh to it. I have to find a approach which is quite easy to use and study. I finally chose remote floder with UNC to teach her.
Why remote floder
I know someone may advice me to build a FTP server on her old computer, but there do be some problems if I want to do that. First of all, as her old computer is running on Windows, it will be complex to deal with those comfusing settings of windows firewall and service layout. Secondly, my mom is quite aged to type in an IP address whenever she wants to get her file from the old divice. Compared with FTP server, a remote floder can be easily use like a normal windows explorer. And all I need to do is set a static IP address for her old device and write a .bat file for her to use quickly and easily. And what the .bat look like will be:
1 | start explorer "\\192.168.1.xxx" |
It will be easy to build and to use. I hope my mom will like it.
