Copying or moving files is one of the unavoidable chores of any computer user. Extramon allows you to copy or move files from one computer to the other using the copy and paste commands in Explorer.

In order to copy a file, it must reside in a directory that is shared and is accessible from the other computer. For example, to copy C:\MyPhotos\photo.jpg, either C:\ or C:\MyPhotos must be shared. If both are shared, Extramon uses the longest one, i.e., the share point closest to the file being copied. Extramon will display a helpful error message if you attempt to copy a file that is not being shared.

As usual, the proper permissions are required. The user who is logged on at the destination computer must have read access to the file itself and to the share point from which the file is being shared.
