Wi-fi file transfer help?

I'm getting a new PC, a non-wi-fi desktop, and there's about 60~ GBs of data I need to transfer from the old one, a wi-fi capable laptop. Could I connect an ethernet wire to one of the extra jacks on my wi-fi router and use the network to transfer the files?

    Yes you can do that. It will be wiser if you plug the RJ45 directly in to your new computer instead of router. Data transfer will be much faster without any hassle.

    For further assistance on how to setup network mail me mailsourav123@gmail.com, if you have any difficulty or want to know how to setup exactly.

    Good Luck !!

    It depends a lot of the Operating System. For example, Linux could use rsync to transfer them. Or if you can get an FTP software up and running that could be used. The best thing might be to use an External Storage device to transfer the content though, that would be the easiest method. You could enable file sharing between the devices if they are both on the same network assuming your running Windows.
