Good day,

We would like to send files to another computer across the internet.

Let's suppose the remote computer with an outside IP of 66.219.22.12 made a share available:


Would we simply be able to connect to this computer and transfer files across the internet by typing (in 'Run'):

\\66.219.22.12\shared_folder

Best regards

Stephen
 
It depends on firewall. Do you have a firewall? and if so you have to open file sharing port on it..This is not recommended AT ALL.
