I have a PC with a SSD for its main drive, and all user information is stored on it, but I have a 2TB HDD for everything else (programs, files, etc.). I tried accessing the HDD to transfer a large file over a LAN connection (cat5 ethernet cable between the PC and a laptop), but it would only let me access the SSD from the laptop. How can I access the 2TB HDD to send over the file? (The SSD doesn't have enough space to receive the file)

The way I accessed my SSD was through connecting via LAN on my laptop to the PC. I didn't go onto my PC and share the SSD in the way you described, and when I attempted to share the 2TB HDD in the way you described, there was no option named "Sharing" when right-clicked. When I click on the "Share with" option, I am given no choice to reveal the HDD to the laptop (or have the laptop show on the PC) even though it shows I am connected via LAN.
