Windows 10: Files being transferred to an empty folder.

I was transferring two files from my laptop ssd to my external HDD, after transferring is done , only one file was transferred, the other one was just an empty folder with no occupied storage, I tried a multiple times but still no use, how can I fix that?

Transferring files to another folder. Speed issue.

I run a 500GB WD Velociraptor as my C drive and I have a standard 7200rpm 500GB HDD as my storage (D drive). I'm only getting about 15mb/s right now transferring files/folders to another folder or transferring from C drive to D. Why is the WD HDD so slow? Am I missing something? *Confused

 

Transferring files to another folder. Speed issue.

There's various reasons, the more files, the slower the transfer as each has to be initiated and completed, so if you had a few large ISO's or ZIP files, that would go faster. Many files and folders will slow down.

There's chipset limitations, hard drive limitations, OS limitations, other hardware limitations that can slow you down. Though 15MB/s seems kinda slow depending on the file(s) being transferred. Mine usually jumps around but averages in the 80MB/s-range between drives on the same system or on my home network. Though I prefer to do large single-file transfers as they are much faster in my experience.

 

transfer files between computers on a home network

I don't know why this is so hard to do but I would like to transfer files between a desktop PC running windows 10 pro and a laptop running windows 10 home. I would like to transfer files in both directions. Both computers are on the same home network and are connected wirelessly.

Could some one provide either specific step by step instructions on how to do this (I googled and found a countless list of instructions that don't work)

or a link to a reference.

Thanks,

I don't know if this is possible but it would be nice to see the computer sending the desired file in the explorer file manager of the computer receiving the desired file and then under the computer see a list
of shared files and folders.

Again, this seems like such a reasonable way of sharing files and folders. Shouldn't there be a simple way to do this?
