Send Files to Mac remotely

The next time I go on vacation im going to use my camera to take raw image files and would like to send them back to my mac mini from a remote laptop (id like to use linux but could use windows I suppose lol).  Should I get OSX server (wait for mountain lion of course) or some other method?  I know I can just get more storage on dropbox but id rather not have to pay the monthly fee.
Thanks

Even if the term "to share" also addresses using belongings of other persons
I think giving own belonging to others for use by them is mainly addressed by thas term,
I mean as for the term "to share" its outbound sense comes before its inbound sense.
Nevertheless if the term "to share" covers both giving as well as receiving the System Preferences,
the Bluetooth section should cover these two. Otherwise the naming is misleading.
Currently for sending files through BT to peers works even if the BT sharing is disabled.

  • Bluetooth mobile peers can't send files to Mac

    Bluetooth mobile peers can't send files to Mac
    This is about os x 10.9.5 on Mac 2013 late.
    For the test additionally two mobile devices are used, one is a mobile phone with some old version of Symbian,
    the other one is an Android device approx 1 year old with latest official KitKat build on it.
    Both are paired with Mac, so the pairing succeeded.
    The Mac is able to send files to these two mobile devices through Bluetooth.
    However it is not possible for neither for these two devices to send files to Mac.
    While sending a file to Mac each device can see Mac as present on Bluetooth radio channels.
    Both mobile devices can send files through Bluetooth to each other.
    What is the reason?
    How to fix it?
    We think we will request an RMA at Apple.

  • Send file to a remote server

    how do I send a file to a remote server?
    I attached my code so you can see what is missing.
    the purpose of it is to send a server all the files in a directory + the name of directory + how many files there are
    URL url=null;
                    try {
         url= new URL("www.<server's address>");
                     }catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                      try {
          // Construct data
            File[] picFiles= path.listFiles(new pictureFileFilter());
            int numOfFiles= picFiles.length;
            String setName= path.getName();
            String data= ("setName= " + setName);
            data += ("&" + "numOfFiles= " + numOfFiles);
           String[] allFiles= new String[numOfFiles];
           for (int i=0; i<numOfFiles; i++) {
                 FileInputStream FIS= new FileInputStream(path);
              //WHAT TO DO HERE?!?!?
         data += ("&"+"allFiles="+allFiles);          
            // Send data
                       URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
                      conn.setDoOutput(true);
                      conn.setDoInput(true);
                      OutputStreamWriter wr = new 
                                                 OutputStreamWriterconn.getOutputStream());
                      wr.write(data);
                      wr.flush();
            // Get the response
                        BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new       
                                                InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
                       String line;
                        while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
                                    //what to do with response (this part is OK)
                     new GoodBadMassage(line);
                         wr.close();
         rd.close();
             } catch (Exception e) {
             }~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    another thing-
    is the line --- conn.setRequestProperty("content-type","binary/data");
    replace the need in ---
    String data= ("setName= " + setName);
    OutputStreamWriter wr = new utputStreamWriter..
    wr.write(data);
    I'm not sure what does is do (setRequestProperty)
    THANKS!!

    You start out by trying to use a malformed URL (it doesn't start with a protocol). This suggests to me that you haven't thought about the natural question: what kind of server software is running on that server that will accept files?

  • Sending files from the remote method

    hi,
    I would like to know if we can send a File object, i.e. a file as the return value from the remote method on the server side accessed by the client.
    Actually, i want to make the files stored at the server system accessible to the client system. how to achieve it?

    java.io.File implements java.io.Serializable so the previous answer is formally incorrect. However you need to be aware that that would only send the File object, which is essentially the filename, not its contents. I'm sure that what the poster meant to say.
    You can send the contents as well in a number of ways but you have to write it by hand. There's no easy way out of the box.

  • SENDING FILE FROM MAC TO PC

    How do I convert a mac file so that when I send it to a pc user, they can open it just as I created it?  The receiver can never open my files and is as much an idiot as I am when it comes to computers.  Can I convert on my end so that he does not have to do anything to the file?

    You can email a PDF as follows:
    With the file open select Print.
    At the bottom of the print dialogue box is a drop down menu that says PDF. Click on the drop down and one of the choices is email PDF.

  • Problems all of a sudden with sending files through MAC mail?

    My .Mac email has acted up over the past week. I used to send documents smaller than 300k every day to whoever with no problems. Now, I'm lucky if they even go. A progress bar will tell me 8% done... 15% done... 21% done and then most of the time I'll get the message 'Could not be delivered... Try Again or Save for Later?'. Every now and then I'll get lucky and one will send, but it's become rare. Even when it does go it takes FOREVER. 5 minutes or more. They used to take 30 seconds... if that. This is a problem on three different G5's with Mail version 1.3.11 (v622/623). I use a high-speed cable connection to the internet, so it's plug and play for me basically. I even created an account with Comcast mail just to test the documents there and they shoot through with no problems (but that defeats the purpose of using my business email address on .MAC).
    Any suggestions?

    Are you saving Sent messages on the server with your .Mac account on all computers?
    No.
    Are you using Port 25 to send messages with the .Mac SMTP server in Mail on all Macs?
    Yes.
    If so, try changing the Server Port from 25 to 587. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below. At the Server Port:, enter 587 in place of 25 in the space provided and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
    Tried that with the same result. I'm stumped. Could there be something wrong with my router you think? Thanks for the help!

  • Sending files fails last week

    I'm trying to send files from Mac Skype client to another user with Android tablet.
    It used to work fine for a long time, last successful transfer was May 11th,
    but since Sat May 16th it always fails.
    On my side I see immediate "Sending failed" message, and on Android side the user
    reports that Skype shows attempt to transfer picture for long time, and then fails.
    Neither of us made any chances to PC configuration recently.
    Any issues with Skype service?
    Any way to troubleshoot what has happened?

    Hi,
    At first if the Buddy List is Available (Logged in) then this should be greyed out)
    You need to disable the Account (either in the Account Info tab and "Use this Account" or from the iChat menu > Accounts sub item)
    It is the 5190 you need to change to 443
    It will almost certainly change the SSL login status and drop the leading "l" from the server name

    Hello i am using TimeMachine to back-up entire Mac image (data + system) on an usb-local drive. I would like (on top of it) add a specific plan to back up some files on a remote network drive. Does TimeMachine support multiple back-up plans ? How ?

    Time Machine is capable of backing up to multiple locations, and can be used to back up to both a local hard drive and a networked drive (provided that that drive is in or connected to a Time Capsule or another Mac that is sharing it over the network). The catch, though, is that you can't specify different things to back up to different destinations. Whatever you exclude from Time Machine backups is excluded from ALL backups, and whatever is included is included on all.
    So, get a large enough drive that you can back up everything you want in all locations, or use something else for maintaining the network backup.
    More information on these topics can be found here:
    How do I set up Time Machine to a shared drive on another Mac?
    How do I set up Time Machine to a Time Capsule or Airport Extreme?

  • I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I've paired it to my Mac. It was all working fine up until about a week ago, but now when I try to "Send file to device" nothing happens...

    I've had my Mac and my Samsung for about 2 yeas now and I haven't had any problems with the two in regards to Bluetooth. As of about a week ago, I could no longer send files from my Mac to my Samsung. I don't know what has gone wrong, but the devices are still paired and I haven't changed any settings. I don't understand how it can just stop working
    When I click the "send File to device" option, it doesn't freeze or give me any notice stating the devices are not connected, it just does nothing.

    I have the opposite problem. I cannot "browse device".
    I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini which was working fabulously through Kies and Bluetooth (on Lion) until I upgraded to Mavericks about 3 weeks ago.
    Now, when I go to Bluetooth and "Browse Device", the following happens:
    The Mac will eventually find the phone, say "connected" then it will say "the device does not have the necessary services".  This is despite the fact that both are discoverable and have been previously paired.
    Bizzarely though, I can send a file from my Mac to my phone through the "send file" command.  That works fine....
    Is there something I am doing wrong or is this problem just symptomatic of the ongoing Apple-Samsung spat?
    And yes, I know that Kies is now no longer supported by Mavericks and vice versa (boo!), so I have had to use other rather cranky solutions (Android File Transfer) and a faffy google calendar sync to sort the rest of the compatability problems out. The Bluetooth issue is just odd though. 
    If this is just an Apple-Samsung software war problem, I really wish both would grow up.  Many people no longer care who made what first, we just want stuff that works.  If iPhone contracts were cheaper, I would get one, but I refuse to pay more than £15 p/m for a mobile phone, sorry Apple.

  • How do I send files from iPad to Mac book pro

    Hi I am having trouble blue too thing my new IPad Air to my mac book pro?

    That's be use you can't send files from the iPad to the Mac over Bluetooth without a third party app. This feature is not native in iOS.
    You can email files, use DropBox or another cloud sync service, or use iOS File Sharing with iTunes. - if the app that you are using supports file sharing. There are also apps that let you mount your iPad like a thumb drive that will allow you to move files back and forth by connecting the device to the USB a port with the provided cable or by using WiFi as well.
    it helps if you state what files you want to move, what app you are using, etc....details, details....

  • When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, e.g. Pages, to open the file.

    When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, (e.g. Pages), to open the file. Please could someone help?

    The Get Info dialog should look something like this:
    The "Change All" button should be at the bottom of the "Open With" section.  This is how it appears in Snow Leopard.  Other OSX versions many be slightly different.
    If something is changing the setting back to something else you may have a deeper problem than I am able to help you with.  What is appearing in the Open with area before you correct it?
    If the problem is still persisting, instead of double clicking on the file to open it, try right or control clicking and then select Open With and choose the proper app from the list.

  • Help me send files from my Mac to my BlackBerry

    Friends:
    I'm trying to send files to my BlackBerry via BlueTooth with no luck. I attempt to initiate receiving the files from my BlackBerry prior to sending it from my Mac, but I get the following error:
    "File Transfer Connection Failed" (the file doesn't even begin to transfer)
    Oddly enough I can send files from the BlackBerry via BlueTooth easily.
    Sharing via BlueTooth is enabled on the Mac.
    In manage connections, the the BlueTooth is ON but it has a little dash next
    to the checkbox, not a green check mark like Wi-Fi and the Mobile Network do.
    Thanks for your ideas!

    I've found the easiest way on leopard(or panther & Tiger) is to use my ISP's web mail, and bear in mind I am using an LG phone and Verizon, to sent a message and attachment to my phone by To: [email protected] and then it comes to cell phone. I don't know if your carrier has such a # to send data like verizon does. Probably does. Depending on what machine and OS X I'm using, it all seems to work different. There are modem scripts in /Library/Modem\ Scripts for usage. But then Leopard Syspref seems to have a different style to setup those modems. Bluetooth is about like a chain saw. Tough, at best to start, sometimes.

  • Cannot send files via Bluetooth from my BB 8310 to my Mac OS X 10.5.5

    Trying to send files/pics via Bluetooth from my BB 8310 to my Mac OS X 10.5.5. with no luck.
    From the menu options from the chosen picture I want to send, I select "send using Bluetooth"
    It then prompts me to select a device.
    I select my MacBook (BB and my Mac obviously paired).
    Then the a File Transfer message tells me : "Failed to Find Service"
    Please help. 
    Thanks

    Tripper: Sorry for my delayed response (very sick dad in the hopsital). Also, sorry I answered the *wrong* question. To transfer files:
    On each Mac OS X 10.5-based Mac, from the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Sharing.
    Check (click) the "On" box next to Bluetooth Sharing.
    Close the Sharing preferences window.
    Select the file that you want to transfer.
    Select "Send Using Bluetooth" from the Blackberry menu.
    You will now receive a pop-up asking you to select a device. Select the paired computer you want to transfer the file to.
    The file will start transferring. If you selected "Ask What to Do" in the Bluetooth prefs,you'll get a pop-up on the computer asking you if you want to accept or decline the file transfer.
    That's it. Let me know if you still have problems.
    Good luck,
    Rene
