# Data Transfer on the Serial Port

Many users now own or have access to more than one computer and find one may have certain advantages over another for creating and editing data files. At times it is easier to create a file on one system but another may offer more flexibility for printing or storing these files. Sometime we may just have used one for a long time and have many files saved when along comes a new system with different storage medium or incompatible formats on the same medium. To save time of re-entering the data again it is much simpler to just send the the file to the other computer.
