Sharing files with another mac

I have some videos on Iphoto that I want to share with another Mac via the cloud. How do they find it on their computer?

One of the most secure way to share files over the internet is to use an sftp server.
Goto your system preferences-->sharing-->turn on remote login.
Then on your router's or firewalls port forward tcp port 22 to your mac. Then you can log into each others mac using an SFTP client such as transmit or cyberduck.

  • Sharing files with another mac over internet

    Hi there,
    My friend has a mac with tiger. I have a mac with tiger. We have built in ftp servers, correct? How exactly do we connect with each other over the internet to share large files? I know the answer is simple or at least available. Thanks for your time.

    Iphoto is currently a shared file on my Mac and I no longer want to share it. How do I completely remove access to it if i am the Admin to the computer? Thanks in advance...

    I found the answer on the Quicken Support site. Unbelievable!!!!

    Unable to Share a Data File Between Multiple Users on the Same System
    Cause The Quicken Essentials data is a data package that contains multiple files.  Each item in the package has permission set based on the current users profile.  When the Package is moved to a shared folder, the permission in the data package are not changed, therefore cannot be accessed by another user.
    You can change the permissions for each individual file within the data package to be accessed by other users.  However, the first user who opens the file after the permissions have been changed, will take ownership of the data package, and it will no longer be accessible by the other party again.
    SolutionThis issue is currently a product limitation and is expected to be resolved in a future version of Quicken Essentials for Mac.

  • Sharing files with other mac users on iCloud

    May I share files I store on iCloud with other users?

    If you want to try online sharing you might like to look at SugarSync:
    https://www.sugarsync.com/products/sync_sharing.html
    - this page says:
    Collaborate with shared folders
    SugarSync keeps all your shared files up-to-date and in sync for powerful collaboration with your virtual team. With folder sharing, you can collaborate on projects by giving a person, or a group of people, access to a shared folder on your computer. No more wasting time emailing individual files and tracking the latest versions. Just send an email invitation to your clients, coworkers, or family members to join your folder.
    Sync folders of information across teams
    Folder members can sync a shared folder directly to their own computers. Any member of a shared folder can have their own copy of the folder on their own computer. Folder members can edit files locally. Updates are reflected for everyone as soon as the file is saved.
    I've not tried this so you would need to investigate to see whether it suited your requirements.
    There is also a new program, Cloud App, which makes sharing files simple: it runs as a background process and you just drag files to the menu bar icon. Storage is with Heroku and Amazon: it's free with a limit of 10 files per day, maximum 25MB per file, $45 per year for unlimited files, maximum 250MB per file.
    Another possible option is YouSendIt. It provides the facility for you to upload files and send an email to a recipient telling them how to download it: and it's also possible with all but the free plan for others to upload a file for you. The free version allows you to send a maximum file size of 50MB with no upload by others: $9.99 per month gets you 2GB sized files in either direction, and there are upgraded plans.

  • Mac Mini will not boot OS, can I get to files with another Mac?

    My mac mini will not boot the OS proserly, it goes to a screen that tells me that some root folder can not be found.
    The install CD works and I can boot to it. The disk utility reports no problems, all disk repairs done and OK.
    The computer still will not boot to the OS.
    How can I get the files I need off the drive before I reinstall the OS?
    I have other Macs and fire wire cables, cross over cables, regular eithernet cables. What can I do?
    Thanks!

    How can I get the files I need off the drive before I reinstall the OS?
    Connect it to another Mac with a FireWire cable and start it up with the T key held down.

  • Sharing files from another mac

    I would like to share files from my macbook pro to the macbook air. I went into the pro and turned on the sharing ability in the user file. when I looked at this from the air, and clicked on the music, a message came up that said " I dont have permission to see these contents". how can i change this so I can use the files?

    See:

    In order to access files on another computer you must log into an account on that computer otherwise you log into the Guest account. The Guest account only gives you access to files in the Shared folder.

  • How do I stop an automatic 'sharing' of my files with another Mac user in my address book?

    Hi all
    I have just installed Lion and it has started to 'share' access to other mac users files - all of which come from my address book. How do I stop this and delate the links that have been created ? Very embarrassing right now - some of these people are my clients!

    The easiest ways are through FaceTime (video calling) or actual screen scaring via iChat.

  • Sharing Video with another Mac

    I have several Video files of TV Shows downloaded with iTunes on my Power Mac G5 which is primary computer at home and is located in my study. The PM is connected to my home LAN and has AirPort. I want to play the videos on my 17" PowerBook via Airport connection or via its ethernet connection while lounging im family room where there's a nice log fire burning. Both computers are running iTunes 6.0.1 (3).
    So, I crank up iTunes on the Power Mac and ensure Music sharing is active and computer doesn't sleep.
    The Power Book has great AirPort signal strength in the Family Room but when I fire up iTunes on it all I can see in the Shared Music is MUSIC and NO video files show up at all. Why is this ? Why would videos be special cased and not shared ? The iTunes is all about music and I wonder if Video such as the TV Shows I've downloaded aren't considered music and therefore aren't shared.
    Can Video files be shared to another computer on same LAN just like music files can be ?
    I searched the Help but found no help on this matter.
    Any insights appreciated as I really would like to watch my video TV Shows in more comfort (ie Family Room) compared to my study location, and I don't want to have to copy the fairly large Video TV Show files across to my Power Book from Power Mac in order to watch them on the Power Book.

    Sharing does not work for purchased videos.
    As a workaround burn them to a DATA CD/DVD through iTunes and use the resulting disk(s) on your PB - Videos will play off the disk without importing them to your PB's iTunes Library.

  • How can I share a file with another mac computer?

    I would like to send a file to my girlfriends computer. A macbook pro. I have a macbook. Can you tell me how to do this? Is it with file sharing, or blue tooth or something else. I is a logic .aif file.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There does seem to be a presumption in the other reply that your girlfriend is living with you.
    A File transfer via Bonjour would then work.
    Also the File Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing would cause her computer to show up on your Finder's side bar as a Share.
    With iChat if you both have AIM Login names you could still do File Transfers.
    (It is slightly more complicated if you have Jabber ID logged in alothough not impossible).

  • Sharing Internet with another Mac via Bluetooth

    I'm trying to help my wireless-less iMac G5 get online. It sits about two inches away from a MacBook Pro on my desk, which connects to the household wireless network via the in-built AirPort card. I'm hoping I can share that AirPort connection via Bluetooth.
    Both systems are running Leopard, although the G5 is running a vanilla 10.5.0 install since I can't update without an Internet connection. The MacBook Pro is up-to-date and then some.
    On the MacBook Pro, under System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Advanced, I've checked "Share my Internet connection with other Bluetooth devices." Under Sharing, I've turned on Internet Sharing from AirPort to Bluetooth PAN. I've also paired the devices together.
    I'm trying to connect from the iMac G5 to the MacBook Pro with "Connect to Network" in the Bluetooth menu. However, it's grayed out. If I do the same from the gear menu in System Preferences -> Bluetooth, nothing occurs.
    This seems like a pretty complicated process for a technology that's meant to make networking child's play.

    You're making life very complicated for yourself!
    1) Bluetooth is far too slow for sharing an internet connection, unless you like accessing the internet at dial-up speeds or less.
    2) As the computers are so close, just run an Ethernet or Firewire cable between the two to create a network, and share the internet connection over Ethernet or Firewire.
    3) You can easily update the G5 to the latest Leopard by downloading the standalone updater on the internet connected Mac from the Apple web-site, then just copy the Update to the G5 via CD, DVD, USB Disk, Firewire Cable, Ethernet Cable, external hard disk etc...

  • Is it possible to share networks with another mac (MacBook)?

    Is it possible to share networks with another mac (MacBook)?
    I want to be able to create a document on my computer and save it on both my MacBook Pro and another MacBook. Also, I want to be able to open documents saved only on the MacBook on my MacBook Pro. Is that possible on the same wirelss?
    Thank you!

    You would not want to use ad hoc networking if you also need to access the internet. I'm not even sure it is possible.
    How are you accessing the internet from these Macs now? If you have a wifi (or wired) network that you both access in your work location, you should be able to use File Sharing across that network, so you shouldn't need the ad hoc network.
    Some general observations:
    You'll need a plan for how to keep straight which Mac holds the most current version of a file. That should probably be to keep each file in only one place (your Mac, the other Mac, a local file server, a cloud server). Even in our home, with one person doing most of the file accessing, I find a central location works best for this; in my case, that's a desktop system that stays on all the time, but a disk attached to my AirPort Extreme base station, a Time Capsule, or a NAS would serve.
    If you make use of the portability of the MacBook[Pro]s to work in different locations, you'll also need a plan that includes that working away from the main work location. If you often work with common files while away from your main work location, a cloud solution may be best even with just two of you. Depending on the size of your files, one of the free cloud solutions may suffice; most offer paid expansion as your needs grow.
