File Sharing Panther to Leopard

I have an old MAC Cube with the Panther operating system. I am trying to transfer my files from the Cube to my new MacBook via Firewire and it doesn't seem to be connecting. Is there any way to do this or is the Firewire connection on the Cube faulty?

Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Are you trying IP over Firewire, or FWTDM?
The latter the best way, just hold the t key down while booting the Cube.

  • Apple has broken Windows file sharing in Snow Leopard

    Hi Folks,
    Having a serious problem here.
    Apple has broken Windows file sharing in Snow Leopard. Many others on the forums are experiencing the same thing. I was almost ready to fully switch to the Mac, then I thought I would upgrade to SL, then this happened...
    OK so I have a Windows Server 2003 Small Business Server. It's pretty much the same as the standard Windows 2k3 server except that it throws in a few extras (And takes some things away). I'm also lead to believe, that there is a difference w.r.t. password signing/encryption or something?
    Anyways, if I try and connect to my SBS server with the correct username and password (In different formats: Domain\username or just username), I get a "Unable to connect to server. Check IP..." blablabla. This happens after the password prompt has come up.
    If I try and connect to my standard windows 2003 server box, it does work, just very slowly (Again, referring to the whole thing about how SBS treats password security differently).
    So I ask a couple of things:
    1) It would be appreciated if any other forums members could maybe help me get this going?
    2) A plea to Apple - please fix this. It all worked perfectly in Leopard!
    Apple probably haven't tested SL against SBS 2003 server. A lot of companies don't do this either as they think that it is just the same as the standard 2003 server (Which i hope Apple have tested against!)
    Thanks guys

    I have the same problem. Here are the details:

    I hope that this information helps Apple get on to the problem soon.

  • File Sharing Speed with Leopard Server/ Windows XP

    Went from Panther Server to Leopard Server. Panther worked fine. Leopard Server we've had a lot of problems with Windows XP clients. We run data files from the server. Using Panther the file sharing speed was comparable to putting the data file on the PC itself. When we moved to Leopard the speed went through the floor. 8 seconds on the PC and 4.5 minutes on the Server. The server is a substantially stronger machine with a lot more resources - but we've had to stop using it for it's intended purpose.
    Help?

    Same problem but almost the reverse. 10.5.2 server, windows clients file browsing, opening and saving speed is great, but our 4 iMac clients (Leopard also) really, really slow to generate thumbnail views of files and open them. Happens across several shares, seems to be a problem with AFP, although now after disabling AFP on some of the shares, it is happening on SMB as well. I have read several other discussions on this forum that attempt to deal with AFP performance issues, but none provide a real solution. Now that it is also happening with the SMB protocol as well I am getting a bit concerned.
    Any advice or even a link to more info would be greatly appreciated.

  • Personal File Sharing failure between Leopard MBP and Tiger iMac

    Hi,
    I am attempting to give the iMac access to files on the Leopard using Personal File Sharing. Personal File Sharing is turned on on the MBP. The firewall on the MBP has been variously set for Essential Services Only and turned off. The firewall on the iMac is off (it has no internet connection). I have tried both encrypted and unencrypted ad-hoc wireless networking on various channels. I have tried ethernet. The results are always the same:
    1) the MBP will appear in the Network folder of the iMac, but any attempt to connect fails. I am unable even to reach a Drop Box.
    2) the iMac appears in the Shared section of the Sidebar on the MBP, and connections of all kind work without problems
    I have no internet connection in the house and am unable to try connecting both Macs to the same WiFi network for testing purposes. I have tried pinging each machine from the other using Network Utility, with failure reported in every case ---however, I'm led to believe this is not unusual in small network circumstances.
    One other piece of info that may be relevant: I am also struggling to have my iPod touch found by my MBP when attempting to use the WebDAV protocol to share files with Files Lite. My iMac connects to Files Lite without issue. Stanza Desktop also refuses to find Stanza. Cyberduck will find Files Lite on the network from the MBP (the only app to recognise it in any way from my MBP), but will consistently fail to connect. Perhaps this is related?
    Any help would be welcome. I can provide more information as needed. I have only offered the information I thought would be useful, and that fits within my layman's understanding of networking.
    Thanks.
    S.

    Hi,
    Well, it's all working fine now. Seems I /hadn't/ tried turning off the firewall on the MBP. The PFS now works with the firewall off or with "Set access for specific services and applications", but not "Essential services only".
    *shrugs* I was so sure I'd tried it with the firewall off…
    So, thanks! All is now kushti. I may have to grumble to myself a little (and ultimately to Apple) about the lack of co-operation between the firewall and the Sharing prefs, and what I perceive as a poverty (or at least poor layout) of information in the firewall settings pane, though. I mean, why can't the firewall automatically choose the correct setting depending on the Sharing preferences? Or, at least, provide a pop-up that such a change is necessary? Hmm…
    Ta!
    S.
    PS: FYI, "guest" sharing was already enabled, presumably by default.

  • File Sharing between Snow Leopard MacBook Pro and Mac OS 8.6 Powerbook 1400

    well ok, for some this might sound ridicule. Why should I still be using a 13 year old PowerBook. Let me tell you, this is writing/typing heaven, Zen-like; no distractions at all, no twitter, no internet (although possible), no emails just pure you and your text and if you spin down the HDD, absolute silence. as said before pure Zen writing heaven. and on top of that you're typing on the best keyboard ever on a laptop.
    As you might see I love my vintage masterpiece of a laptop and use it on a regular basis. Just one Problem.
    Since I Installed Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro 17" I just haven't been able to establish a connection between the two machines.
    I have to admit, I'm not that versed with OS 8.6 but with 10.5 I had absolutely no problems accessing the shared folders on my MacBook Pro and vice versa.
    My first thought was to activate Appletalk on the ethernet on my Macbook, which I failed to find anywhere. The Apple Discussions Forums revealed that Appletalk has been dropped with the introduction of Snow Leopard but all the entries where regarding printing issues with shared printers, I didn't find anything about actual file sharing and thus did not get any clues how to share files between my two machines.
    My PowerBook 1400cs/166 runs on 8.6 and I use a Global Village Platinum PCMCIA card (modem and Ethernet combi card). this setup worked perfectly with 10.5 but I have not been able to make establish a connection since running 10.6 on my MBP.
    I am really desperate since I heavily depend on being able to exchange files between those two machines through an ethernet connection.
    So I kindly ask anyone who might be able to help me to please consider posting any solutions or at least ideas which could help me with my problem. I really would greatly appreciate any effort whatsoever.
    Thank you very much for your time.
    EDIT:
    What I forgot to mention: strangely enough, when I enable Internet Sharing on my MacBook Pro (through Airport) to Ethernet, my PowerBook 1400 can connect to the internet without any problems.
    Message was edited by: Apolloss

    First of all let me thank you very much. It actually works (partially).
    There seems to be a problem though. While I can connect perfectly from my MBP 10.6 to my PowerBook 1400, the other way round doesn't work.
    My MBP does not show up in the Network browser of OS 8.6 but I could life with that.
    The problem is that if I try to connect to my MBP from my PB1400 by entering the IP directly a alert message appears reading that the "User Authentication Method required by this server can't be found, please check the AppleShare folder in the Extensions folder and try again".
    Do you have any clues what I'm doing wrong or where the problem may lie?
    PS.
    Even if you may not be able to further help me with this problem, I ow you a great deal of gratitude and am very thankful for your help so far. At least I can exchange files between the two machines and that's what I needed in the first place.

  • File sharing issue with Leopard and Windows XP

    I had no problem with file sharing (see the Windows machine on Leopard) before I reinstall the XP and update to SP3.
    Now I cannot get the XP shared disk displayed on Leopard Finder. I looked through some guides and check these:
    Both the two laptops are in the same workgroup called "WORKGROUP";
    XP firewall disabled;
    XP Guest Account enabled.
    But I just cannot get the Windows icon back to the left column of my Finder. Have I missed something? Any body with any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  • File sharing between iMac Leopard and Vista Laptop!

    ok this is my thing, i have an imac (leopard) that is connected wirelesslly and a laptop (vista home premium) that is also connected wirelessly to the same network. im trying to share files between the both so i don't have to use a hard drive every time i want to transfer files from one to the other. what is the process of setting this type of file sharing between the two machines? all wirelessly of course!

    Because the iMac and XP are talking, it sound like a Vista sharing thing and the only other help I can offer is to look at these Google Search's:

  • Originating File Sharing Mini with Leopard G3 Beige and Vice Verse.

    I guess a sub-heading of this would be connecting to the newest Mac from an older one.
    Here is a problem: I can set up the G3 Beige (running Jaguar) as a file sharing server and very easily connect to it from the a Mac Mini by using top menu Go>Connect to server.
    Where i run into what seems to be impossible is to do the same thing from the G3. Nothing seems to establish a connection. It is always rejected with a no connection error message.
    Both machines are wirelessly connecting through a router. The mini with internal airport and the G3 beige using an external D-link bridge. Both work fine accessing the internet.
    Main reason i wanted to do this is that my Shared Printer is on the Mini and i wanted to print something from the Beige to it.
    Can anybody help, or am i attempting the impossible.

    DEAR Grant Bennet-Adler: Thank you for your last reply. I'm not sure exactly what i did but I was able to connect. To answer your questions:
    IP Addresses are similar. One is ...101 and the other is ...102.
    My router uses DHCP.
    What seemed to fix the problem was going to security>firewall on the MINI and checking
    o Allow all incoming messages.
    Not sure what ODS Agent.app is but it is highlighted as allow incoming vs blocked.
    Both computers "allow personal file sharing"
    On the G3 i was able to connect after a bit of trial and error: On the G3, when i "Connect to Server" i am presented with three choices of servers, one of which is the G3 itself--I wish the system wouldn't remember irrelevance.
    One of the choices is OK and when i checkit i get the ID and Password Dialog--again for ID i am presented with the MINI's name and not my user (Admin) name.
    Change that, type in the password and i am given a list of drives on the folder. That includes any opened from a .img.
    After i open one i then see it on my desktop and can get into it.
    One slight problem: Once into one, i can;t go back to "go to server" to open more. I get timeouts, error messages and other stuff. I have to start over. That also appears to be to include disconnecting the connection to the G3 server that gets set up on the MINI.
    Regards:
    p.s I hven't gotten into Shared Printer although i saw it did show up in the Firewall dialog.I think i have the Canon MP470 Software on the G3 as well as the Mini but i will have to check on it.
    p.p.s. Next thing is to try X PostFacto on the G3 again to try to install a later OS; but this time not making the mistakes that totally messed it up the last time, last year, that i tried it.

  • File Sharing between Snow Leopard, Lion

    Today, I successfully installed Snow Leopard and Lion on separate partitions. Did a clean install of Lion and it is running 1000% better than when I installed it as an upgrade over Snow Leopard. Additionally, I also have Windows 7 running in Boot Camp.
    My question is this: How do I access my files in Snow Leopard from Lion? Both are installed on separate paritions on the same hard drive in my MacBook Pro. I don't want to use drop boxes or anything. I simply want to navigate to my folders in SL and access them. However, it is saying I don't have permission to access them. I have tried sharing and have tried adding users with permission rights. It's possible that I just haven't done it correctly. And, I suppose it may not be possible at all. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Have you solved this problem yet?
    just got a new MBP and am having the exact same issue!
    I just posted this thread about it:

  • Windows file sharing issues with Leopard

    One of my clients has a Mac Mini server running Leopard with all updates installed. He has 2 Windows PCs in his office (1 XP and 1 Vista) and 1 MacBook Air running Leopard.
    I created two folders in /Users/Shared and created a new full (standard) user account (SMB doesn't seem to like "share only" accounts). I turned off the OS X Firewall and set the two folders to be read/write shares for the new account I created. I turned on SMB sharing in Options.
    On the Windows XP machine, I can read/write to the Mac Mini's shared folders just fine, however I cannot delete files for some reason. I always get an error saying the file is locked or I don't have permission to erase it. I tried moving the share folder to different locations, thinking it was a parent folder permission issue. No dice. It doesn't seem to matter who creates the file, I cannot delete it from the Windows computer. I can delete it fine from any Mac in the office.
    Any ideas?

    The default behavior for the /Users/Shared folder is that you can only delete files you put in the Shared folder - this is called the "sticky bit." ie: User A saves/moves a file into Shared, User B can read/write that file but cannot delete it, User A can read/write and delete. The sticky bit can be set via Terminal.

  • How to set up file sharing in Snow Leopard Server?

    Apple had SLS for just about free when I needed SL, regular SL not yet then, so I grabbed it. I have been using it for quite some time for legacy applications and never needed to move files to that machine over the network. Tonight I needed to and noticed I could only do screen sharing. I went the control panel and there is no settings to do it. Can anyone tell me how to "turn it on". Can it be?
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    . . . guy

    Open the Server Admin program (in the dock if nowhere else). It's there.

  • Connecting to a network for file sharing

    Currently I'm connected to a network at work with my MacBook Pro (with latest OS). I can see my computer on the windows network section but I have no shared files available to access from the pc to my mac. File sharing has been enabled as well as printer sharing. I can see the printers and print to the printers on the windows side from the mac but I can not see my shared folders on the mac from windows or any network folders on the windows machine from the mac. Any ideas on setting things up further?
    I've tried http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1812
    but I don't understand how I'm suppose to log onto my mac from windows in order to enable file sharing and I don't get why I should have to.

  • File Sharing Office Docs With Windows PCs

    I just upgraded my work computer, 24" iMac (pre-aluminum), to Leopard. At first I was thrilled to see the new file-sharing options in Leopard, as my computer has many company files shared. Before I was using a program called "Sharepoints" to share the files. That program does not work on Leopard.
    Unfortunately, shortly after setting up the shared directory, I began getting complaints that people could not access the files in the shared folder. Here's what was happening:
    They can get into the directory, and even open up the files (in this case it is excel files).
    They can edit them, but when they save them they get the following error:
    "The document was saved successfully, but Excel cannot re-open it because of a sharing violation. Please close the document and try to open it again."
    But they cannot open it again.
    When they try to open it again they get the following error: "Excel cannot access 'file.xls'. The document may be read-only or encrypted."
    I can open and edit the document just fine on my iMac.
    What I have noticed is that it appears to change some permissions of that file when they save it, but only on my username it now says "Custom" instead of "Read/Write". If I go to the parent folder, change the permissions back to what they were before, and apply changes to all enclosed items, they can open the file again and save it once (just like above).
    What's the problem? We really need these files shared.

    I just submitted an official bug report to Apple which I will reproduce below. I hope this helps someone somewhere.
    Summary:
    After upgrading (erase and install) my 24" non-aluminum iMac to Leopard, I am unable to share files with other people on the business network. The main culprit appears to be MS Office files.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) Choose the folder I want to share in System Preferences > Sharing > Folders.
    2) Apply the appropriate permissions to the folder: (Me) -> Read & Write; owner -> Read & Write; staff -> Read & Write; everyone -> Read & Write;
    3) Turn on SMB sharing and check the appropriate accounts.
    4) Attempt to access an Excel file with Office from a networked Windows PC.
    Expected Results:
    Sharing should be normal. Other computers should be able to access, edit, and save all files as if the shared directory were on their own computer.
    Actual Results:
    5) File opens fine, edits normally, but upon save it issues this error:
    (Office 2002): "The document was saved successfully, but Excel cannot re-open it because of a sharing violation. Please close the document and try to open it again."
    (Office 2007): "Access denied. Contact your system administrator."
    6) Document will not reopen again and if you try it gives following error:
    (Office 2002): "Excel cannot access 'file.xls'. The document may be read-only or encrypted."
    (Office 2007): "Access denied. Contact your system administrator."
    Regression:
    When examining the permissions on my computer after someone else has accessed and saved it (with Office 2002), my permissions are changed to this: (Me) -> "Custom". If I change the permissions back to normal, recursively, the entire process can be repeated.
    If I create a rtf file and save it to the shared folder, it appears that it does not suffer from this problem. This leads me to think that perhaps it is an Office files only issue. Somehow Office is making changes to the permissions when it saves the file (in Office 2002), or does not understand the permissions (Office 2007). The problem exists with Excel, Word, and Powerpoint files.
    Notes:
    Related problem -- When I create an excel file from another Windows PC and put it in the shared directory on my Mac, I am unable to edit the file from my Mac. The permissions for the file are as follows: nobody -> Read & Write; staff -> Read only; everyone -> Read only.

  • Reset File Sharing Preferences?

    Is there a way to reset the file sharing preferences in Leopard?
    On a fresh install of Leopard you get an automatically made folder entry under Shared Folders in File Sharing in System Preferences. The folder is called, for example, "Reuben's Public Folder". I deleted this folder entry by mistake and now I want to get it back. Sure, I can just add my Public folder to this Shared Folders list, but I want it to be called "Reubens's Public Folder". Can anyone please tell me how to do that?

    Thanks for the link biovizier, that was enough information for me to figure it out :)!!!
    HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS:
    (1) click on Finder and then "go to folder", type in /var/db/dslocal/nodes
    (2) then do a get info on the "Default" folder and allow EVERYONE read+write access
    (3) do the same for the the following two folders, CONFIG and SHAREPOINTS
    (4) do a get info on the Public.plist file, and allow EVERYONE read+write access
    (5) rename the Public.plist to "username's Public Folder.plist"
    (6) open this file in a text editor (I used SubEthaEdit), and change every instance where it just says "Public" to "username's Public Folder"
    (7) save the file, and change the permissions of that file and all of the folders above back to "no access" for the EVERYONE group
    Close and Restart File Sharing in System Preferences .... and you're done!
    It'll still say the folder being shared is "Public" inside of System Preferences, but when users connect, it'll say "username's Public Folder"

  • File sharing no longer works after upgrading from 10.3.9 to Leopard

    I'm trying to do file sharing on my PowerMac G5 with my MacBook Pro. The problem is when I try to connect to the G5 I get no response.
    Powermac G5 was just upgraded from 10.3.9 to Leopard 10.5.6 (clean install, then used Migration Assistant to copy over files). File sharing worked fine on 10.3.9 until I upgraded the G5 to Leopard (the MBP has had Leopard for several months).
    MacBook Pro is running 10.5.4.
    From the Finder I select Go->Connect to Server. I select "browse", and the window that opens shows my G5 in the list (it's the only one). I double-click on my G5 and near the top of the window it shows "Connecting..." with the little spinner at the bottom right of the window, but that is as far as it gets. Just no response after that.
    I tried to Ping the G5 but got no response.
    At first I was trying this wirelessly through my Zoom DSL modem, but to troubleshoot I hooked up the two computers directly with an Ethernet cable but got the same result. No response from the G5.
    I have File Sharing turned on in the G5's System Preferences. All 5 users have as least their write box shared. I've even set up a separate shared folder in one account.
    Please, if you have any ideas please let me know. I'm stuck.
    - LW

    Wow. 64 views and not a single reply. I found a workaround, but I can't explain it so I'm going to keep this question unanswered for now.
    I had the firewall on the G5 set to "allow only essential services", and file sharing was listed but still not working. However, if I change the firewall on the G5 to "Set access for specific services and applications" file sharing would work. I could sit there and toggle back and forth between the two settings and watch file sharing alternately work and then fail depending on the setting.
    Weird.
