How do you set up your macs so you can send and recieve files without sending them through emails or instant messages. Just pulling them from one mac to another. My father has a mac mini and I have a PowerMac g3. Where trying to get files from each other's machine without emailing or instant messages or uploading them and then downloading.



Any Help Appreciated!

    Are your computers on the same subnet (on a LAN at home) or are you connecting over the internet?



    If the former just turn on Personal File Sharing in the Pref Pane for Sharing.



    If the latter then you need to know the IP addresses and may have to mess with Firewalls and Network Address Translation (NAT).

    turn on sharing and then i think you can use Bonjour (formerly Rondevous) to share the files. you could also set up mac sharing, then go to Connect To Server and browse for his computer
