how to push files

[Guest]

10 PC lab, all PCs run Windows XP Pro SP2

NO Domain; WorkGroup only. I am able to create & share a folder on 1 PC,
which can be viewed / accessed by the other 9 PCs.

Each PC has an "Administrator" account that is a member of the
Administrators group.

I would like to be able to sit at the primay PC and send / direct files to
the 9 other PCs.

I copied files from the primary PC, then using remote desktop, paste to a
folder on a remote PC, but I am not given the opportunity to paste them to a
folder on the remote PC.

I was logged in as "Administrator" on each PC.

I am unable to connect using telnet. I disable the Windows Firewall &
turned on telnet. When I try to access the remote PC via telenet, I am
informed "Access Denied: Specified user is not a member of TelnetClients
Group. Server Administrator must add this user to the above group." Telnet
server has closed the connection.

On the remote PC, I created a group called TelnetClients and added
Administrator. I am able to add only local users.

Your advice is awaited.

Without a domain this is a difficult task at best. You might consider
"pulling" the files with a batch/CMD file in \All Users\Startup rather than
trying to "push" the files.

You have no idea what this post is about. Just shut up. Troll.

thank you Malke.

I had tried "net send" and telnet.

My new plan is to create a shared folder on each PC, then copy & paste items
to those folders.

I think that is the best plan for you, although I agree with Richard
that you might want to think about installing a server operating system
and running a simple domain. Small Business Server is reasonably priced
and having a domain will give you all sorts of nice control over the
workstations, including the ability to push out files, updates, do
centralized antivirus, etc.

Another advantage to having a server is backup. I don't know what kind
of backups you're doing, but I recommend not having anything saved
locally on the workstations; instead, save to a second hard drive on
the server and then additionally back up to removable media. You can't
do this with your current setup because you'll run into the Inbound
Connections Limit which is 10 connections for XP Pro (connections, not
computers since one computer can make more than one connection). Of
course, you can put up a Linux box and use it as a file server/backup
location and not have those restrictions, but I think you should
consider setting up SBS server for the reasons I mentioned in my first
paragraph.
