The simple answer is that information moves between computers as a data stream. The catch is that there are protocolsthat the computers use to talk to each other, and the ins and outs depend on the network through which they are communicating. To cite just a single example, if a PC or laptop is connected to the internet, some kind of Internet protocol will be used by the server and that computer so that they can communicate. Certainly there is a lot more to this, and it will, as stated, depend on what network is being used to connect the computers in question.

Packets consist of header, payload and trailer.
The header contains information about source, destination, length, port etc. information with packet.
The payload is the actual information travelling with packet.
The trailer tells whether this packet has a succesor or not.

∙ 14y agoThe data can can be transferred thru an external storage device like usb,cd/dvd or if ur system is connected to a network, u can enable sharing of the folder and access thru specifying the ip address of the system in which the data is avbl in the system into which data is to be transferred.
It may not work on some computers though

∙ 10y agoThe computers use signals that is modulated on a cable, so you may use a number of ports to communicate with two computers.
The Internet use a programming interface called "Sockets". These are created, as a file descriptor, and then when created, the server wait for a client to Connect to it. On Unix and Linux you can use simple file IO, "read()" and "write()" to receive and send messages, and close() it when you no longer need it. Coding in Windows use socket-evel "send" and "receive" - with a number of variants exists. This is also an earlier version of sockets, and opens for lower-level coding, such as re-use of a connection.
Search the net for "Socket()" and try to code a server that opens a port, and a client that connects to this. It is not that difficult to make a "chat" service that allows you to receive messages from everyone on the net as they want to talk to you. The next is to run commands on the other computer - "rex". The more that know how this is done the better you will understand malware, and take measures to stop the racket.

If two students connect their computers with a twisted pair network-cable directly between the computers Would it be possible for an attacker to see the files being transferred?
If computers are not connected to the internet at the same time over another cable or wireless, no it is not possible to see the data being transferred
What is a difference between a system and a network?
Operating system protects the computers data from viruses and hackers on the network.. network security protects all devices, servers,m computers ,mainframes on the network.
How is network useful?
Networking security is used to protect a series of computers connected to a specific network by scrambling the data passed between the network. This renders the data useless outside the network and secure.
Transfer files between 2 or more computers?
Obtain the IP addresses of the computers you would like to transfer data to, then use the network to transfer the data.
Which term refers to the method of exchanging data between computers that are not connected on a network?
file sharing
How is networking security used?

What exactly is server hosting?
Computers on a network retrieve data from a server. The server is a common data store that may be accessed by client computers distributed throughout a network of computers.
What is meant b networking?
It means connecting different computers and other equipment into a network, so that they can share data and resources.It means connecting different computers and other equipment into a network, so that they can share data and resources.It means connecting different computers and other equipment into a network, so that they can share data and resources.It means connecting different computers and other equipment into a network, so that they can share data and resources.
What is created when one computer is connected to other computers?
Two or more computers connected together create a computer network. Computers within a network can interchange data.
Name a difference between a mainframe with terminals and a network of computers?
For a mainframe with terminals, data processing takes place on the mainframe computer only as the terminals are 'dumb'. Conversely, in a network of computers, each computer has its own processor.
Which network transmits data without wiring or cabling?
A network that can transmit data wirelessly is called WiFi. WiFi uses radio waves to transmit data between computers and across networks. There are various different WiFi types, namely A, G, and N.
What is a group of computers connected together and share resources?
Local Area Network (LAN) allows two or more computers to access the internet through a single router and, by creating a shared folder/directory, to share data between any computer connected to the LAN.
