Get a HDD enclosure, and pull the drive out. Still just connecting them to the same LAN as above is prolly easier.ĮDIT nvm.

Wifi Direct is a little different in that if you have Wifi Peer-to-peer enabled device, in Windows it will just create an automatic hotspot the other device can join to do Adhoc wifi. Wifi-AdHoc and Wifi-Peer-to-Peer(Wifi Direct): Wifi Ad Hoc is basically the same as the ethernet option above. There are guides online or if you want I can go into more detail, but the option above is easier if you can just do that. Cons: Requires both computers connected to same network.Įthernet Direct-connect: If for whatever reason you cannot connect to the same network you can directly connect them via ethernet and configure network settings on both manually. As long as you have network discovery turned on you'll just see the other computer under network in file explorer.

LAN: If you have a lan just set up SAMBA sharing on one PC (That's normal Windows filesharing if on Windows) and access the file from the other computer.

Cons: Slow (USB 2.0 ones are limited by USB and even pricier USB3.0 ones don't even get a fraction of the full USB speed), require proprietary drivers that not only work only on Windows and sometimes Mac, but may be limited to only certain versions of either OS. Typically they come with drivers that make the transfer process fairly easy.
USB transfer cables are the most user friendly option, it's basically a double sided flash drive built into a cable. This is a generally compliant SCSI disk.I have a laptop and want to pull a file off the pc without interacting with it at all is there a cable or a way to connect the pc to the laptop directly

Your Mac will restart and show FireWire or Thunderbolt icon to indicate that it is now operating in Target Disk Mode. In System Preferences window, select Startup Disk icon and click Target Disk Mode button to restart your Mac in Target Disk Mode. When an Apple laptop is booted into TDM and a USB 3.0 cable is attached (it should be noted that the USB-C cable needs all USB3.0 pins connected, UTDM does not work with 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0 cables or controllers), it declares itself to be a Apple, PID_1800, implementing a Diagnostic Class ( 0xDC) device with subclass 0x02 and protocol 0x01. Click on Apple menu and select System Preferences. The first layer of the TDM onion is a simple obfuscation. This paper will be extended in the future to cover the slight differences when using Thunderbolt to replace USB mass-storage as an underlying transport. What follows is an analysis of the USB based target disk mode protocol, and also a revelation that the FileVault2 key may be extractable (albeit in wrapped form) from a machine without the OS booted. Moreover, Apple’s security features such as encryption and effaceable storage complicate the implementation. Modern USB and Thunderbolt based target disk mode requires a machine that is ordinarily a USB host to become a slave. Because of the peer-to-peer nature of FireWire and the standard SCSI command set, implementing a consumer in linux for this protocol was relatively straight forward. In earlier generations of Apple MacBook computers, TDM or Target Disk Mode was a boot mode that made all internal drives appear to an external FireWire capable system to be LUNs which could be consumed by another endpoint (This usually included the internal Hard Drive and CD/DVD-ROMs).
