Can you only share files that reside in the public folder

We have a few macs on our home network, and sometimes we share files.
But when I want to copy a file from say my wife's computer which is named "Jane's mac", when I connect, I only can copy a file from her shared folder.
Is there any way to open up the files so they can be shared with everyone on the network, or do we have to put them in the shared folder.
Obviously security is an issue as I wouldn't want anyone to be able to get access to our home folders, but just out of convenience, I was curious.
Thanks.
Russell

I should add that this is on the computer on which you want to share from. Then you can set whatever user(s) that are set up on that computer that you want to be able to access those shared folders. The user can be one with an account on the computer from which you're sharing, or in the Address Book on that system, or some other places. Then from the other computer you connect using the user name and password you've allowed access.
Hope this helps.

Send a file that resides above the virtual directory to the browser using ASP.

How do you send a file that resides above the virtual
directory to the browser using ASP.
this doesn't work:
<% Response.Redirect(Server.Mappath("..\..\..\files\"
& rsgetefile("filename"))) %>

Basically you can't send a person to the location as that
would totally
defeat the purpose of placing files above the virtual root.
You can stream a
file from a page on the site if you use the physical location
on the server
to call it.

Easy way, CLONE IT to another HD
HD cloning software options:
1. SuperDuper HD cloning software APP (free)
2. Carbon Copy Cloner APP (will copy the recovery partition as well)
3. Disk utility HD bootable clone.

BAD IDEA
You want one backup (ie Time machine) and one (or more) data archive of just all your raw files (drag and drop, or cloned etc.)

What is the default file that's in the downloads folder on a fresh install of OSX?

I deleted the .pdf file that's in the Downloads folder when you first install OSX.
Is there anyway to get this file back?

The file is the "About Downloads" pdf file, that's preset in the Downloads folder when you first install the OS.
Can this be replaced if you accidentally delete it?

HT3042 I can't find any file exchange icon in the utilities folder

I can't find the Bluetooth File Transfer icon in the utilities folder on my iPhone

It's not supposed to be on your iPhone. That application is for Macs.
iPhone's do not support file transfers over Bluetooth. There are some apps in the AppStore that can do it to the same app running on another iOS device, but not to non-iOS devices.

Why can I only see artists that start with the letter "A"?

On one iPhone, iTunes Match is fine (except that navigation through the iPod app is PAINFULLY slow!!!)
On the other iPhone, iTunes Match only shows artists whose names start with the letter A. I've gone through playlist mode and downloaded other stuff, but they don't show up, regardless of whether "Show All Music" is on or off.
Help!
Any speed tips would be appreciated, too!

Now I need to figure out where to turn that off by default.
OK, now I see the Fill and Stroke options - ONLY VISIBLE IN THE OPTIONS BAR WHEN TOOL MODE Shape IS SELECTED - that affect the operation of the [Shape] button.
Personally, I really LIKE the concept of always making a Path, then doing with it what I want (e.g., make a Shape with the button).
I'm not sure what I'd suggest about making the Fill and Stroke options available, but clearly the method of haivng them only show when making Shapes, and not when using the [Shape] button is a stumbling block even for folks who are familiar with the product.
I would probably turn off the Stroke feature by default, though, then let people discover it.

What exactly ARE the .pkg files that collect in the 'Receipts' folder?

Hi there all.
Those .pkg files that collect in HDD>Library>Receipts. What exactly ARE these packages for? How do they tie in with Disk Utility's 'Repair permissions' option? Why do we need to keep them?
It's all Unix to me ;0)

I used to delete .pkg files after I'd installed an application. I thought i was just the electronic equivalent of throwing away the empty box after I'd bought something.
The "cardboard box" icon encouraged me to think that.
Then someone said you should never throw away those.pkg files.
So I stopped.
But the only thing that has ever happened is that during permissions repair, I get a few lines here and there that say "could not repair permissions".
I have experienced no other problems of any kind over about the last 2 years. All applications running normally, nothing weird happening.

Can't open a file for writing in the ProgramData folder

Hi,
I have a simpe text file in the ProgramData directory that I need both to read and write to.
SHGetFolderPath(0, CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA, 0, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, userpath);
PathAppend (userpath, TEXT("Testfolder/gnsh.dat")); licensefile = _wfopen(userpath, L"r+");
However, the only way I have been able to open the file both in read and write modus, is to run the program as an administrator. But this is not a practical solution. The question is then if there is a way to open this file in both moduses when running
the program in the normal way, not as an administrator.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for youre answer, that was very useful. It helped me find the solution. The file I wanted to edit was downloaded with Inno Script Studio, which by installation changed the attributes of the file to none writable. So simple by setting a parameter
in this scripture I was given write access.
Best regards

Is there a way to convert files that are in the music folder to Audiobooks?

I have a bunch of audiobooks that I loaded off CDs that ended up in the Music Folder with all my music. I want to know if there is a way to move them to the Audiobooks folder? Convert or something? Please let me know.

You first need to convert them to .m4.
Simple enough.
iTunes prefs -> Advanced -> Importing.
Set to AAC, 64 kbps stereo, optimize for voice.
Select them all in itunes, go to menu Advanced -> Convert selection to AAC.
Use this -> Make Bookamarkable to change the file type and extension.

HT3819 Can you only share music with others comming from one apple id at a time?

I want to share music from multiple accounts. Is this possible?

If you create a new ID for her, she will no longer be able to share the apps that you purchased with your ID - unless she signs out out of her account on the iDevice and then signs back in with yours if she want to use or update those apps.

TS2972 Why can you only share photos to Apple TV and not iPad?

This seems like a development oversight on Apple's part. All I want to do is view my iPhoto library on my iPad using Home Sharing, the same way someone with Apple TV can view their photo library on their TV. When will this functionality be coming?

This is a user forum, no one here can speak to any updates. You can currently have your Photo stream for shots you want to appear on all devices.

HT3819 Can you home share with two libraries on the same computer?

Can home share be used with two libraries on the same computer?

iTunes must be running for home sharing to work. There is no way to have home sharing running simultaniously for two users on the same computer.
Simply add the media files using File > Add File/Folder option in iTunes.

HT202213 can you home share the rentals?

can you home share rentals

You are posting in the Apple TV forum, thus I am referring to the Computers icon on Apple TV.
If you are inquiring about home sharing to another computer, post in the appropriate section. Although, I don't think you can do what you are asking.
