The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of terminals, and discloses a data transmission method and equipment. The method comprises the following steps of receiving an operating command for transmitting data by using a first terminal; acquiring target data needing to be transmitted in the first terminal; building a network connection with a second terminal receiving the target data; and sending the target data to the second terminal, wherein files with high priorities in the target data are sent at first, and then the files with low priorities in the target data are sent. Thus it can be seen, by using the method and the equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention, when a user uses the new terminal equipment, the new terminal equipment can conveniently acquire user data stored in the old terminal equipment.
