file sharing

I know this must of been done before. But what the heck.. one more time won't hurt.

I'm running 10.2.1 on my iMac. I want to connect to another Windows XP machine running the Novel networking software. I have turned on the Windows file sharing in the Sharing Prefs in OS X but I still can't seem to get either computer to "see" each other in a network way. I can't mount drives...

Just installed 10.2.1 on my Pismo Powerbook and, unlike 10.1.x, it seems as though Energy Saver settings are ignored and deep sleep is prevented if Personal File Sharing is turned on. Once Personal File Sharing is off, the computer goes to sleep normally. There is a thread on this issue on...

When I click the Start button to turn on Windows File Sharing, nothing happens. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Okay here's the dealio. I'd like to be able share files with my bro who has a PC. We both have cable internet connections and using AIM works okay, but it can be a bit of a pain since we trade a lot of MP3s and stuff. So, which option would be best for me (us)? File sharing, Web sharing or...

Hi I read that we can share files with mac os x and windows98 with SMB, in a loca ehernet network. Can whe share files in a local network (ethernet) with FTP ? how ? thanks jsn

Curious to know if there are more people that are having a serious slowdown when trying to connect one computer to another within their local area network (or computer direct to computer). Trying to connect from my PowerBook to my iMac or vice versa used to take a second or two (connected...

So for a year and a half I heard tales of other Boston University students sharing files over the BU network with other users by accessing the Network Neighborhood. I knew that this kind of access wasn't possible on my Mac. Now, though, OS X brags that it can connect to virtually any kind of...

I have a need to network three machines, one running OS 9, one Win 98, and one UNIX. I'd just like to be able to ftransfer files between the machines. I don't need help with the hardware side - i understand all that. I'm wondering if there's a way to mount volumes from one machine to the next...

My friend has his OS X machine on one side of town and mine is on the other. How can we set them up so we each can have access to the Public folder in the other's home directory. Or can we mount the other's hard disk on our desktop? Anyone have any suggestions on how to setup this Internet file...

I have been experiencing a weird file sharing problem where after losing a connection to a network volume, re-connecting causes a number to be appended to the name as if some part of the os still thinks the volume is connected. Is this a known issue? anyone else seeing this? here's a...

The samba file sharing works pretty well, even though there is no GUI to connect to the PC host, other than a window to type in its network name. If you type in the correct name and password, Mac OS X mounts the PC computer as a drive on the desktop, so you use the OS X GUI from there to...

I set up an OSX Server to be used primarily as a File Server. I added 5-6 users to test with. I created each user so their Home space is in /Users/username. When I log in as one of the users, I have the option of mounting a "Users" volume and a "Public" volume. First of all, what...

My OSX Server (10.0.4) box runs Windows File Sharing just fine. I can see the server in Network Neighborhood, upload, download, the whole thing. But when I try to connect to a printer via the Printer Share, I can't ever see them from Win 98. Setting up the printer sharing isn't that hard...

Interesting problem here, and I have a feeling it's a hardware related problem. Here's the run-down. Have my network running all OS X, and running smoothly. (Save the endless end-user complaints.) Out of all 10 machines, only one gives me a problem with remote login. I do the...

How do you set up the file sharing in 10.1.

I was just wondering how sercure is Mac OS 10.1's Web and File Sharing? Because I just started running both Web and File Sharing yesterday and today there is a lot of access. I was looking at the log file and I don't understand something What does this mean? (NOTE: I removed the IP address.)...
