Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

We can't really give you much help here - there are so many things that could get in your way.
But...

1) The file needs to be in a folder which is accessible outside the machine. This may mean in a Shared Documents Folder, or a folder specifically shared for the purpose.
2) The source PC may need file sharing turned on.
3) You may need a user name and password to access it.

If it isn't a PC (or you aren't using the same version of the OS) it may well get harder to do.

Look at your topography, and edit your question - at the moment that is justy way too "open" a question to give a meaningful answer.

Again, pickup a book on Windows Networking and read through it. You have no idea what you're doing, and that's a dangerous thing...
