I have a windows XP based computer that is connected (peer 2 peer style) to a Windows 7 based computer. The goal is file transfer between the two.
Here's hitch one, the connection between the two computers is via USB. Ethernet is not an option and completely off the table for this situation, we're stuck with USB (Windows XP computer hardware configuration is inaccessible save for the USB hub). We do have the ability to install software on it though.....same situation goes for the Windows 7 machine
Here's hitch two, The solution MUST be implemented such that file transfers can be accomplished via DOS command terminal from the Windows XP based computer...so no bridge cable and "GUI dragging of files" is allowed. A bridge cable driven by DOS command line..now that would be a solution but have yet to see one.
Here's some buzzwords I have accumulated through some lengthy google research that might help explain where I believe I'm heading.
usbnet
RNDIS
PuTTY
plink
FTP server
I would like to ask how the IT experts would handle this, what software is needed on which end and what kind of configurations could I expect to have to deal with. I am a bit unsure about the whole ethernet over USB thing as it applies to this peer 2 peer situation and would welcome any advice.

I have installed Oracle Linux 7 with the current version of VirtualBox, running on mac OS Sierra with a macbook. It therefore has a battery but is plugged in at all times.
For networking I use 2 adapters, one NAT for internet and one Host-Guest for ssh etc.
For some time now I was always wondering why I would get a broken ssh pipe, trial and error showed me that the VM will go to sleep (black screen), which causes the network adapter to break, telling me the name of the adapter and simply Reset adapter as soon as I wake it up again by typing into the vm itself.
I can then restart the network adapter via /etc/init.d/network restart and it will work again
Any ideas how I can change that? My Linux skills are very limited and I am not even sure what Oracle Linux is based on, most tips I find online do not work, no GUI also makes it difficult to just hop into power settings or something similar
This worked for me, on Windows host machine.
Configure your network adapter to
1) Allow the network adapter to wake the computer,
2) Allow a magic packet to wake the computer,
3) Allow IPV6

Now, when I sleep my computer, and then wake it up, I get networking on both the host and guest, not just host.
I tried to install a hardware I've installed in my previous computer under Windows 7, basically an external network card with antenna, but when I try to use it, after installed it I get this bluescreen error:
BUGCODE_NDIS_DRIVER
I don't know if it's possible to fix it, any useful information?
PS: If this isn't the best Stack forum, please guide me to the right one.
There is some technical information on Windows Dev Center - Hardware on this bugcheck. Driver developers can find the cause from the bugcheck code and parameters.
I can duplicate the BUGCODE_NDIS_DRIVER blue screen on my Windows 8.1 developer box fairly easily by opening two different VPN tunnels. Luckily, I don't need both running at the same time, so my solution is "don't do that".
For example, I open SonicWALL Global VPN Client to connect to one network. Then, I open the Cisco VPN client to connect to another. The crash happens almost immediately.
If you have two active network card, deactivate one, that is all.
I am working with a SOM mounted on a carrier board running Ubuntu 14.04 with the generic 3.13 kernel.
While testing out the peripherals, I hit a problem with serial communication.
Basically, I can transmit data from the custom platform to an external Linux machine, but I can not properly receive data from the external Linux machine to the custom platform.
Through my research I have messed with all sorts of BIOS settings, baud rates, hardware flow control, parity, etc. Nothing has worked. Most info I have found online just says "Make sure your baud rates and other settings match", and they do. It is not my first time working with Linux serial ports. But it is my first time encountering a problem like this.
Does anyone have any suggestions, recommendations, or has anyone ever seen an issue like this before?
More info: We are running a quad-core Intel Atom micro with a custom serial breakout interface. The serial port is at /dev/ttyS0.
EDIT (clarification):
If I set up a session in Picocom or Minicom, I can send characters from our custom platform (running Ubuntu 14.04) to another Linux PC (also running Ubuntu 14.04). However, if I try to send characters from the Linux PC to our custom board, I sometimes get nothing, and other times get unrecognized characters (they show up as bubbles with question marks in them).
I can also simply echo a string to /dev/ttyS0 on the custom platform and receive it on the Linux PC. I just can't get it to work the other way around.
Simple question - how to map serial port (serial2USB as /dev/ttyUSB0) to XenApp with Citrix receiver 13 on Linux (Ubuntu 13)?
With Citrix receiver 12, I can run connection manager (wfcmgr) and map desired port in preferences, but CR13 dont have this manager. I tried to manually edit wfclient.ini and put there these lines (copied from wfclient.ini used by CR12):
LastComPortNum=1
ComPort1=/dev/ttyUSB0
But nothing happened. In addition, I found this link so maybe I should ask: How to redirect USB devices? (and throw away this COM antique)
So, lines in wfclient.ini are correct but I was operating with incorrect information that unix kernel v.2.4.20 (and higher) contains drivers for TFDI devices. Truth is that these drivers are in kernel v.2.6.31 (and higher). I should have to check dmesg... sigh
We have a registered PC based application that needs a Dongle (hardware that gets plugged on the printer port) to start and execute. The vendor who provided us this application and Dongle, does not make or work with these dongles any more, since they are very old technology, and would not help us in this aspect.
So my question is --> is it possible to read the security code from this Dongle and store it in a file or something on the PC. We also do not have the source code of the application. Can we change the call in the application to read the security key from this file instead of trying to read it from the Dongle attached to the printer/parallel port.
Sorry for the vague question but we are very desperate to get help on this problem as out application has 16-bit code and it would not be supported by Windows 7 which is 64 bit. Thanks!!
The LPT security devices don't just contain information but usually include a processor and perform certain operations. Dongle emulators were developed when dongles where more widespread, but as they were based on reverse-engineering, they didn't work exactly right.
To answer your question, no, what you need is not possible. You need to start thinking about migration to another application. A temporary solution would be to have a copy of older OS running in virtual machine and to have your application run in this virtual machine. Such solution will work for another 5-10 years for sure, and I think it's enough for migration.
