    Question File transfering from design computer to Mach3 computer

    Hi, just wondering if there is a solution to transferring tool-path file rather than moving USB drives. Is there any issues/conflicts if you add an extra network card or WiFi card and setup an internal network? Any other reliable solutions for this?

    Thanks.

    I use Dropbox to move the files. I have my laptop connected to the motion control over Ethernet. I enable the wifi to update my files then turn it back off.

    My machine is on my home network, and I just copy the files to it's hard drive.

    I use OneDrive but similar to Dropbox.

    I don't really use it but I did develop a few batch files that I can run quickly to disable and reenable the wireless connection. Like I said, I don't use it as I haven't had any issues but I know some worry about the wireless or an app using the connection causing issues.
