Downloading

Win98SE, ThinkPad 770E

Is there a way to download directly to another computer on a 2 computer
peer-to-peer?

I tried saving through c:\windows\desktop, to a shortcut I had
previously pulled out of Network Neighborhood and thus to the relevant
drive. I expected to see list of shared drives on the other computer,
but when I selected the computer shortcut the file name switched to
(comuter).lnk and asked if I wanted to change it.

I know how to move the file after downloading. I'm just asking if there
isn't a direct route.

It still gets you to the remote folder, though, right? Except that the name
changes? You just have to change it back, or:

In the Save dialogue, you should be able to navigate to the remote folder
using Network Neighborhood. Navigate first to the Desktop, then to Network
Neighborhood. There should be no name changes along the way.

Having no clue what .lnk represents or why I would want to replace it I
backed off. Just now I went back and tried it. After that the shortcut
would do nothing at all, so I deleted and replaced it.

Hm, I didn't realize until I just tried it that via the Mozilla Saveas
dialog the desktop appeared above My Computer in the first system
dialog. I just didn't see it. That does work. Going the other way,
Network Neighborhood doesn't even appear.

Thanks.
