If you want to make a cable with male connectors on both ends, nothing
but wire in the middle, then transfer data from one computer to
another: Not possible. Don't remember the details, but the USB
standard makes it physically impossible. There must be an active
device in the middle of the cable. But don't take my word for it.
Google "usb data transfer", etc. There are many on the market.

I would not advise USB to USB to transfer files. USB was not designed
for this.

It is best done through the Ethernet port. There is a lot of
information available about how to make a simple network between two
computers for transfering files.

USB is a master/slave connection, and your intent is to connect
two masters. It can be done, by a cable that supports a
dual-port memory which is a slave to both the masters.
And, some software.

However, a peer-to-peer connection is far easier and can
generalize to more than two computers. Firewire and Ethernet
and variations on WiFi are the best choices here.

Those little USB keychain flash drives are widely available,
inexpensive
and completely supported by modern OS software. Use them if
it has to be a USB solution.

Greetings "ctops.legal" et. al...

I couldn't agree with Jerry more! Even if configured for data
transfer, USB is bandwidth limited for data of any substantial
size. This is why our networks have notoriously been Ethernet
based. The good thing about two computers that sport an Ethernet
connection is you don't require a hub or a switch if you merely
want to connect the two together.

In front of me right now is a Belkin package for a CAT5e
Crossover cable M/N: T3532G/A. Many other companies are making
the same type of cable - probably for less money. Connect this
cable between two computers having an Ethernet port and you'll
typically have 10 or 100MBit/sec. connection and something less
than that regarding the actual data transfer, considering the
overhead, but it will usually be more than adequate for PC use.
This is the way to establish data transfer at a better bandwidth
with a protocol that was established for broadband reliable data
transfer.

Cheers,
Mr. Mentor

No, they were USB to USB cables with a processor. I haven't seen any
for about six months, but I think I might have one left, and hiding
somewhere in the 1000+ spare cables in the shop.

I have bought USb to Ethernet adapters for under $10, though.

Yea I know all that I am trying to find the hardware that make the USB

There about $35.00 right down the street I want to make my own, there
must be a do it yourself site or blog somewhere, an ethernet
connection would require 2 complicated drivers and compatibility
issues with Vista units and older systems, plus it's my hobby, thanks
guys.

Give it up. If you could do it, there wouldn't be big lumps of electronics
in the middle of usb link cables.
You couldn't possibly build the hardware for the $12 shipped it would cost
to buy one. And the software is yet another problem.

   Then go to the OEM websites and find out who makes the chipset, then
spend a couple thousand dollars for the development kit, and pay the
license fees.  USB isn't a simple cable interface, and USB 2.0 is even
harder to get working.

   start here, but you'll spend a lot more than if you just bought the
interface already built. <http://www.lvr.com/usbc.htm>

Hey I will just buy the interface cable and go into the interface
hardware that's the easy way, all the reading don't get to the problem
ALWAYS find a simple way, I guess the caveman had to break a s**tload
of rocks before he found one that would roll, thanks guys.

Come on now "Idiot. :(" that was uncalled for, see 1. our internet
signal is different than most of the rest of Comcast's other customers
in other parts of the US, we get a we get a TPV 6 (TPT/IPv6) Ethernet,
with a max dl @ 900 kbs, USB configuration is about 1/2 of that, 10
years ago the area got a non-Fiber-optic cable it's somethins else
similar but not the same, USB to wireless is about 2 times the dl rate
as dial-up, I am going to talk to a guy everybody knows around here
called Doc. he can build anything electronic, thanks guys I just
wanted to find out some simple information not start a argument over
USB v Ethernet/wireless.

   Yes.  Idiot.  I pointed you to the resources required to designa USB
product, and you ignored them.  Making a wheel from a rock was a lot
easier.  You didn't have to pay anyone for the right to use it after you
made it, either.



   Want to bet?  You have to pay a fee to register a USB device, sign
"Non Disclosure Agreements" and pay for the development tools. Unless he
is already designing USB products that is a very big NRE.  I spent years
in electronic design and manufacturing, and saw what an expensive mess
USB product development was.  For a one off you are better off to buy
something.  If you think you an build and sell a million units for less
than the Chinese, you are truly insane.

   As far as your lame caveman comment:  You're watching way too many
Geico commercials.  It reminds me of Gary Larson's 'Farside' caveman
plumber cartoon. There are two cavemen looking into a hole, and a roll
of toilet paper is on a stick. One caveman says to the other, "Ug! This
not be cheap!"

I admit it was lame, and I can see youe a software tech, I can't hold
a candle up against you my friend, honestly it was google that helped
put a bunch of dirty cops against me in 2001 cost me 5 years I didn't
owe, I have learned I'm sorry buy I'm playing catch-up if I could post
with true anonymity via newserver I would, I got access to 5 or 6
services, you know software that will do that please let me know, I
don't hold google responseable for me getting railroaded" I should
have had the knowledge" as youn seem to do, you seem like a very smart
person I'm sorry I disrespected you, I'm not trying to make $ I
discuss here because you guys know your s**t, I mean no disrespect.

   Follow the links I posted earlier. You will see it isn't a simple, or
reasonably priced task.  One of the rules of design is to know when to
buy, rather than build.

   Also, a design project shold be on either or Both groups are availible on Google
Groups, but most of the posters there are trying to learn, or
profesional designers and won't waste time with anyone with a bad
attitude.

Well I hate to say it but google searchs bring people to discussions,
I have never found a good news client N/B Pro is good binary files
client, but as far as posting I have yet to find a client that will
allow anonymous posting, you know one ?

Send it back to them, followed by 20 pages of black paper all taped
end to end. It uses up lots of their ink or toner and paper. When they
see what it costs them, they'll stop.

Report them to the FCC. Recently FAX spammers have been fined tens of
thousands of dollars.

You can also SUE the FAX spammer in small claims court.

That only works for people in the US. My method works anywhere.

You don't have to live in a country to sue in that country nor to report
law violators in that country to regulators in that country.

That said, I did stop a 'junk faxer' a couple of years ago by a somewhat
similar method.
They were sending 'pump and dump' stock tip faxes, with a 1 800 number at
the bottom to 'opt out'.
Of course, opting out had no effect...or rather confirmed your phone number
to the junk faxers.

I know this because I tried a couple of times and just got more junk faxes.

So I programmed my computer to repeatedly call the 'opt out' number and
'press the right buttons to "opt out"'.
Repeatedly.
Over and over.
All night long.

I think I only had to run it a couple of nights before they stopped hitting
my fax machine.

Mike you really hate spam don't you, I am just curious you in the
UK ?, and you don't have "infinite ignorance" your an intense
individual I like that and where I'm at complaints from private
citizens are like standing on top of Mt. Everest (alone) and yelling
for a cup of hot chocolate, if you don't fine a law suit you can't
even get access to basic public records. Honestly spam is not a big
problem here in the US, there is to many scamers trying to prey on old
people that can't even start a computer, crack dealers are more
ethecial than most lawyers, judges make up there own sets of rules for
the court, complaints what a joke, what you say, oh nyea my friend is
making me a USB x USB interface he said it's simple and it's will be
tweaked, see you can make any hardware you want in the US just don't
try to make $ on it., hey what's up with Google's new "Validation: For
verification purposes please type the characters you see in the
picture below or the numbers you hear by clicking the accessibility
icon" deal ?

I'm in the US and I despise spam, more than one email address I've had
has been rendered useless by the enormous volume of spam that makes it
in. I've had much better luck since I switched to gmail and set up a
number of disposable email forwards through trashmail.net, now whenever
I start getting spam from one, I can just drop it and switch to another.

I use 'Mailwasher' to bounce the garbage as undeliverable.

NO!!!!!
NEVER bounce mail unless you can _guarantee_ that it goes to the ACTUAL
sender!!!!

Bouncing mail is an abuse of the INTERNET and should NEVER be done.

What if [as is very common] the spammer is using a forged return / senders
address????
You end up clobbering some innocent soul's inbox.

Some spammers purposely use bouncers to 'forward' their spam.

Many viruses use bouncers or even faked bounces to try to get their virus
infected e-mail to someone that will open it.
http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/329.html

If they
are expecting to do business with their email address, the more bounced
mail, the better to plug their inbox and prevent real customers from
contacting them.

..... snipped a case where bouncing WAS justified. Such cases are very rare.

Usually it is better to report spammers to their ISP and let the ISP deal
with them. If you do ANYTHING to let the spammer know that your e-mail
address works, you are just inviting them to sell your address to other
spammers.

By the way, spamcop can be used to report spam. Sometimes it helps.
