Connecting Zorin Lite device to Zorin Core device via data cable

I have the latest Zorin Lite on a PC and the latest Zorin Core on a Tablet. I want to transfer files via a data cable but cannot see the other device. I have even installed Files on the PC but with no luck. Any help please?

Hello and welcome,
you need a Crossover cable to do that, not a classic cable

It's a USB-A to USB-C data cable 480 Mbps?

your tablet can't see your computer, but your computer would see the tablet if you set the tablet to MTP transfert

How do I set the Zorin Core tablet to MTP transfer?

oh you installed Zorin on a tablet, I didn't understand sorry.
Why you don't use BT connection or Wifi on the same network ?

I managed to get Zorin Connect to work by turning off the Firewall. I'll have to look into setting that up properly. It's would be easier to plug-and-play with a cable. Many thanks anway. :slight_smile:

When both Devices have an Ethernet Port, You could try it with an Ethernet Cable. Or You use for both Devices an external Drive as Bridge.
