Quick question when files are shared from one computer to another, for instance music in itunes, will the music that’s shared take up hard drive space on the computer/laptop on the secondary device? Or does it only take up space on original computer where it was downloaded?

I’m trying to share files between my two macs at home. Both are connected to the same router through wireless.

Can i share files between both macs without creating an internal network between macs?

Thanks

Same as JonV: this only worked for me as from the moment I disabled the firewall on both Macs; but it works and is quite fast!

Cheers!

Hi Scott

I thought the same thing. When I selected my new computer’s hard drive, there was a category under Devices on the left side bar called “Shared”. I could see my old computer. Selecting it took me to the public shared folder which contains “drop box” where you can place your files to be shared. I tested it with a photo and just dragged it to my new computer’s IPhoto. Viola!

You say “your friend will be able to get”, but you don’t say how. Sorry I don’t know this stuff so I don’t know where to begin to look for the public folder on my other mac.

Thanks

iGet software is great (nakahara-informatics.com) – rock solid, using it for years without any problems – no thinking required

So many apostrophes. It is “Macs” and “Windows”. When in doubt, leave it out.

I'm using DropCopy. Transfering files between Macs on a network really doesn't get any simpler than this!

This method of sharing only works for me when the firewall is wide open under the security icon in system preferences. If I leave it to essential services only, the other mac will give me back an error in the finder after awhile of trying to connect. It finds the shared mac and shows it in the finder sidebar, but no folders show up in the finder window.
