Laptop and Tower connection

[tydraestor]

So im in a visual basic class in college and i have a laptop and a tower, is there anyway to share files between the two if i connect them both with an Ethernet cable?

Why not just use TeamViewer, save you time and hassle.

Use the TeamViewer build-in VPN to bypass those restrictions. Or just use a network drive.

Use a cloud storage system that allows local syncing.

 

If this is for programming, I'd argue sign up for Github or some other version control system so you can start learning how to use one.

You can but how easy it will be depends on how Windows is feeling. The easiest and best method is to use cloud storage. Only because then you have your files also backup off site. Google Drive and Microsoft's One Drive work pretty well.
