Mac and PC File Share



After hours of searching the net I was able to get my Mac OS 10+ and my Windows XP PC to share files. The two computers where already hooked-up via a router, so what I needed where the steps to take to turn on "file share" on both computers. Here are the steps:

File Sharing on Mac OS 10+

1) System Preferences – Sharing – Check On "Windows File Sharing"

2) System Preferences – Accounts – New User

3) Enter Name, Password, and Check On "Allow user to log in from Windows"

File Sharing on Windows XP

1) Start – My Network Places – Add a network place

2) Follow Add Network Place Wizard

3) Choose another network location

4) Enter the address of the mac: \\[ipaddress]\[nameofmac]

Replace [ipaddress] with the actually IP address of the mac

Replace [nameofmac] with the actually name of the mac

5) Finish the wizard

6) You should see the mac in the pc's network places. Click on it and enter the username\password you setup in the mac preferences.

File Share Permissions

1) Look on your mac for Users - then the main user

2) Use the File – Get Info tool to set the Read/Write permissions on the "Public" folder found in the Main User folder.
