aaron901 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 here's what i do when i want to send some huge files to my PC or vice versa: connect 'em by ethernet. on the Mac, set the IP to 192.168.0.1, and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. on the PC, set the IP to 192.168.0.2 with the same subnet mask. back to the Mac, hit Command + K (or click Go - Connect to server) in finder. type in smb://192.168.0.2 and hit Connect. select the drive/folder you want to mount.

the evn show Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 If you're comfortable with editing text configuration files you can hack on the samba file yourself - in terminal type: sudo emacs /etc/smb.conf enter your password, and away you go. Sharing out the cd-rom is a little more difficult that sharing out a folder (I've never tried it on OS X so I can't comment with much authority). If you're not interested in doing it the manual way you could look into: SSP. It's a nice front end for editing the smb config file, but it's no longer in development. It worked amazingly well with 10.2.x, but I haven't tried it with 10.3. Here is an article on how to get it up and running: http://www.creativemac.com/2002/09_sep/tut...innet020927.htm Lastly you have DAVE as an option. It's very simple, and very powerful. It used to be 'required' software back with 10.0-10.2, but these days it's largely ignored because the os x samba implementation is pretty darn good.

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted January 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 28, 2004 No offense against emacs, but I'd recommend using pico instead for newbie shell hackers ;) So, change that to sudo pico /etc/smb.conf, the commands to run it are just control and the letter at the bottom of the screen next to them.

the evn show Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Just did it over AIM: and we used pico. CTRL+X CTRL+S CTRL+X CTRL+C just isn't intuitive - who would guess that means "save this file and exit" if you're not a geek. I think this is definitely FAQ material, one of these days I'm going to write one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Bah Humbug to Samba and all it represents with its fancy windows sharing capabilities. Evn and I spent an hour trying to get it to work with my PC and Mac connected directly with ethernet to no avail... grrrr..... :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty.Metal Posted January 28, 2004 Author Share Posted January 28, 2004 ya he helped me... we got it to work sudo pico /etc/smb.conf scroll to bottem and add [cdrom] path /Volumes/{cd name} printable = no public = yes writable = no guest only = yes replace {cd name} with the cd name, can be found .. cd /Volumes ls then the cd name.. \\Ip\cdrom works for me now i need to do it for the FTP anyone know how? there is no ftp.conf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron901 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 evn, i think it would be great if you could make a tutorial on this matter and make it sticky. lots of Mac users are not so familiar with the terminal. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
