In case you haven’t done this before, to make this work the following needs to be done to each machine:
This involved a little bit of setup on both ends, but has worked very well for quite a long time. The Case of the Disappearing PowerMac G5įor some time now, I have been sharing files between my Quadra 840AV, running Mac OS 8.1, and my PowerMac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz, running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Probably there will only be one – the one you shared in step one above.A.k.a. Now you need to Click ‘Browse’ and you will be given a list of all the computers that you are able to access. Now whenever you want to access the files on your other computer, you just need to go to the ‘Go’ menu and select “Connect to Server…” You can see here that for Wayne Connor (me) I am able to ‘Read & Write’ which means I can access files from my computer and also put files onto the computer.Ģ.

With Apple file sharing you can easily access your second computer from your first one and copy across the files you need without having to go into the other room.

Apple file sharing is by far the easiest way to share files if you have 2 computers on the same network.
