How do i access files on my network

I have an iMac connected to my network and my primary computer is a PC. How can I acces files on the PC throught the network?

First you have to share a folder or volume on the PC. How to do this depends on what operating system you have on the PC.
Once you have that set up, open a Finder window and look in the Sidebar under Shared. You may see the PC there. If not, go to the Go menu and select Connect to Server, and enter smb:// followed by your PC's IP address. You should be able to connect to the files that way. See this Apple article for further information.
Best of luck.

How to Provide File Path in MII 12 to access file located in Network Path

Hi,
How can I locate a file which is placed Network Path?
Iam trying to access PDF file which is stored in Network Drive, I just want to open folder which contains all PDF files located in some Network Path on click of button.
I tried all possibilities like below:
window.open("file
\G:");
window.open("
SERVER-NAME
Folder Name");
But Iam unable to Fix this.
Please Help me in this regard
Regards,
Padma

Hi Rao,
this is less a MII than a browser or mapping problem.
You can access a local file in a browser like this:
window.open('file:///c:/folder/file.txt');
However, in case of MII local means local to the MII server. So in the above example the file is located on the c driver of the MII server.
If you want to access files on a network drive, the folders to the files should be mapped on the MII server so you are able to address them like they were local files.
I haven't tried to address network folders directly, because we are running MII on Unix.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

Get info then check permissions then add your curent user name (it was probably different on old Mac) and give your username full read/write permissions.

How do I access files that have been recovered (after a Mavericks problem) with the .cca file extension

First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

How do I access files with an iPad on a Lion Server?

One of the reasons I upgraded fron Snow Leopard server to Lion server is to access files from an iPad and iPhone. I see in the File Sharing sharepoint configuration box the iOS checkbox, but how do I get to the files from the iPad?

Thank you for shaking my brain! I kept looking for a file structure to show up, such as Fidner. Your answer got me thinking correctly. Instead of looking for a "Finder", I opened Pages on my iPad and touched "+" then "copy from webdav". From there I got a login screen and typed https://servername.com/webdav plus my credentials and it got me right to the files on the server! I can now access files on my server from my iPad and can save the changes back! It works both on the local network and remotely! Thanks again!

Accessing files within the Network

Hi
I have problem with file sharing. Within the network I have a PC with windows Vista. It has file sharing on. But it is not showing any files in my MAC. Can anyone tell me how to change the settings in my MAC to access files from my PC within the network.

Hi Avi,
Thanks for your reply.
Just to give to some background info. The java class is called from a package that is owned by the same schema. The schema owner is part of the dba_role and connect_role.
The network drive on the windows 2000 serveris mapped by the domain administrator account.
We have given permissions to the schema owner to access the mapped drive thru java.
What the java script does is fill a string array with the name of each file in the directory. The script and error messages are below.
I have a feeling that the schema account does not have windows 2000 permissions to access network resources, but it is just a hunch.
Regards,
Ned

Once VPN is connected, how do I access files?

I was able to get VPN connected to the network at the office. What do I use to access files and how do I access the exchange server? Our system is not set up to use IMAP.
Thanks
MacBook Pro 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.10) Need XP capability

Thank you for your suggestion. I did turn on file sharing on the server before I left last night and attempted to connect through the VPN to the server's local address at my office but I was unsuccessful. The IP address I used was the static assigned IP address of the server computer and I waited for over 10 minutes to connect without getting a connection or any error messages. Prior to that, when I used an incorrect address or attempted to use the actual server's assigned network name, I received an error message within 10 seconds. Is there something I haven't considered at this point?

Anybody know show to set a network folder for back up?
Any words of direction? Thank you.

hey jugem,
backing up files on a network would require you to have either a different computer that is connected to your current computer via a wired connection or wireless connection.
It might be possible for you to backup to MSN Skydrive if you're able to map it to your system as a Network Drive.
For all of this, I do recommend getting in contact with Microsoft as these features are by them

How to recover deleted files on a Network Drive

I am running the latest OS environment, and I purchased a LaCie Network drive that is attached to my airport. Two nights ago, my house took a power hit/outage. I did not suffer any hardware damage, however, I lost significant data on my network drive where my iTunes library resides.
When I look at the drive contents, I find approximately 50% of the actual music files; however, the iTunes library file is gone as is much of the music. Therefore, when I open iTunes, the library is completely blank - no file listing, no playlists, etc. I suspect that the files all still exist on the drive and I would like to recover the files.
Is there a Data Recovery software utility that recovers files from a network drive? I located 4 data recovery software programs; however, none of these can access a network drive - they only work with local drives. Is there a utility to go after the network drive?
The LaCie drive is a network only drive. It is ethernet connected, and I attempted to direct connect it; however, the Mac OS does not recognize (i.e. find) the drive. The drive is 1TB and I have it split to do automatic duplication. I have removed one drive so that I have a copy of the original data - post power hit, and I have one drive that we can "play with"
thanks

Hi
I would say your best solution would be to purchase a 3.5" SATA enclosure (preferably Firewire; USB will be slower) and put your working drive in there for the purpose of data recovery. You never want to attempt data recovery over a network.

How do you access files on iPad

The hp print control app saved a scan on my iPad. It didn't show up in photos. Wondering how to access this and place it in my photos. Is there an app to access your files on iPad?

If it's not in Photos app, have you looked in the hp print control app? If not, google the hp app for a user manual or help on how it works.
Apps generally cannot access "files" on an iPad - unlike a computer, each data file is associated with an app and only that app can access it (and then "send" it to another app, if that capability is part of the original app). There isn't a "file manager" than can look around an iPad to view all files. iOS is a closed system that takes security more seriously than computer operating systems.
