How do i create a shared folder?

I need to transfer some files from my Windows XP PC to my Ibook G4 and I don't know how to make a shared folder cause I'm pretty bad with network related stuff.

The shared folder is built in to your user account. To access it via XP you need to activate Windows File Sharing under Preference/Sharing and make sure your account is enabled.
From there you should be able to see it from XP.
I'm not 100% sure about what you have access from there, but I think you'll figure it out.

  • How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac ?

    How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac?

    You don't do this in Word. You do it in the OS X Finder.
    All you need do in Word is open the file, then select Save As from Word's File menu. Change the destination to your new folder then click on the Save button.
    The Finder method is much faster if you have a number of files you want to move. Just remember that to open those moved files in Word, you will have to change the directory from which you will open those files.

  • How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
    If you can't create a folder, your drive may be the wrong format (you can't write to a Windows/NTFS formatted drive, for example). You'll have to back up any files you have on there, and then use Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac Extended (if it will only be used on a Mac) or MS-DOS format (if you want to share it with a PC).

  • How can I create a sub-folder within my "Documents" folder?

    How can I create a sub-folder within my "Documents" folder? I have many similar documents that I want to group together. This will also un-clutter my Documents folder.

    Also, you can add a New Folder button to the Finder's toolbar by opening Finder, going to the View menu in the menubar, selecting Customize Toolbar..., and dragging the New Folder icon to the toolbar in the Finder window. Then it's just one-click for new folders wherever you want them.

  • E4200 v1- problem creating a shared folder for the FTP server.

    Hi, 
    I'm trying to share an external USB harddrive (4TB- HFS+) that is attached to my e4200 router.  I'm trying to set up the FTP server, but when I try to create a shared folder, I get kicked out of the browser based interface for the router just as I'm trying to save the new shared drive.  I have tried many different things to get it to work: different computers (PC and Mac) different browsers, reflashing the firmware (which is version 1.0.06, build 3), I tried all of this with an NTFS formatted drive as well-  everytime I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure.
    I can see my drive on the local network, and I know the FTP server is working, because I can log into it from the outside- but I don't see anything shared, when I do.
    I have successfully gotten the media server to work using the same drive- but I can't create shared folder there either...  It seems to have shared the entire disk automatically when I first connected the drive to the router.
    Anybody have anything else for me to try?  
    Help!

    Same problem. Has anyone found a solution? I contacted tech support and got nonsense responses. I was of course asked to Factory Reset even though I told them I had done it before I called - classic brush off. Basicly here is the problem. 
    1. I cannot create a share on a USB connected HDD - this worked on the older Firmware. Now every time I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure. I am not the only person with the problem. Crazy thing is I had a share created and it worked after the upgrade. I wanted to add an additional share and now it wont share anything. HDD plugged into my PC works great. I was asked to try a different PC - even though I told them I tried from IE, Chrome, Firefox on a Windows 7, Vista, windows XP, IPad, Kindle and Samsung phone.
    2. While troubleshooting with the agent I discovered that although I have remote access disabled in the Administration>Management page but I can still access the router remotely. This is a huge security issue.
    3. Linksys is no longer a Cisco Company - if the code is this bad Belkin should take the Cisco logo out of the GUI. Don’t blame Cisco for your poor SW.
    I am ready to buy a new router and avoid Linksys and Belkin all together in light of these issues.
    Additionally, I would simply downgrade but the older Firmware is not available. When I asked for it I was told I could not get it. 

  • How do I create a new folder in my documents?

    Hi there, I'm new on Mac.
    How do I create a new folder when I want a new folder in my documents?
    I also want to create folders on an extern harddrive, but I can only create a folder on the launchpad...

    See my orginal post - it answered the OPs question just fine:
    When you have any window open, you can press the Shift-Command-N keys to create a new untitled folder. Same with on an external hard drive. Also works on the Desktop.
    Maybe I should have said, to your reply:
    "and you don't have to open any windows to use the command on the Desktop."
    Would that have worked for you?
