Goal: I want to get some files off computerX.

Challenge: I do not have physical access to computerX.

Info and Access I do have:

* computerX is WindowsXP (media edition, I believe)

* computerX is connected to a Linksys WRT150N

* remote administration is set, I can access the router pages remotely

* I can connect to the wireless network

* computerX has some sort of network file sharing enabled... I know this because
It has a shared folder on it's desktop that both it and computerY can access. ComputerY
Is on the same network, and is WindowsXP Home. I do not have physical access
To computerY.

Is there anything I can do to somehow connect to computerX and get the
Files? I'd prefer to use my Powerbook to connect, but I can use a PC if
Necessary. I do not want computerX to show any super-obvious signs that this
Is happening.

If I'm reading this correctly---you're asking how to hack into someone else's computer and take a file without their knowledge?

Wouldn't that fall into "Illegal"?

You make it sound so sordid. ;)

I said it was a long story, but in a nutshell: kind of. I own the computer, and
I own the files, and can prove both things.

I just don't have physical access.
