Folder Mapped as USB drive with cable

[gravey]

Does anyone know of a usb device that you can map a folder on say a laptop and with a cable and a little black box (the usb device), you can plug into a desktop and have the laptop folder appear as a drive under win explorer on the desktop.

I hear the question being asked 'why don't you just network them and map the folder as a drive'.

This situation exists under a company domain where ms active directory is used so network adjustments are not possiable. Basically I want to copy a large file and I don't want to purchase a very large USB Key disk.

Most USB thumb drives come with USB cables to attach to your PC and will automatically appear in Explorer as a drive letter unless the BIOS and/or Group Policy prevents this.

Check out this URL. TigerDirect.com, a retailer, has USB cables for doing data transfer between two PC's.

P.S. - I assume that the data being transferred is legal.
