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.
