Simpleton's question - this time involving 2 laptops. Old one runs Win95, new one runs WinXP Pro.

I wish to transfer several large files from old to new. Slow way is to transfer them to floppy, then upload from floppy into new computer.

But can I connect the 2 laptops together with a serial cable or USB cable, put all the files I want to transfer into a specific folder (let's call it 'Transfer') and then copy 'Transfer' down the cable to the new computer's C-drive?

No doubt that'd be far too easy and I would probably need some geeky software or somesuch. Don't intend to do that - or to fart about with IR ports - so can it be done simply and easily?
