File Share between a PC and a Mac

Unity Engine

I’m new to using Macs and I tried to search for a good tutorial on how to have a Mac and a PC file share with little success. Does someone have a link that will allow me to easily set that up? I’m using a router for the connection.

Thanks.

the easiest way:

Make a shared folder on the pc. ( right click on a folder, then select “sharing” )

on the mac go in the “Go” menu

type
smb://ip address of the pc

That will mount the shared folder on your mac desktop.

I use Windows Sharing on the Mac to connect.
I’ve found its a bit unreliable at times - esp with broadcasting netbios names.

If you want to use Mac Sharing between Vista and OSX, you have to set “client ntlmv2 auth = yes” in /etc/SMB.conf - there is no passthrough authentication allowed on Vista so u have to use NTLM

I’m picking up Vista next week so I’ll give that a shot. Thanks.
