Posted March 19, 2022 long story short; Trying to find the fastest way to get files between my MAC and PC; the PC is my daily driver but I work with FCP for editing on the MAC. I've gotten the MAC to recognize the PC and I can move files from MAC to PC over network I am able to run WIN+R and access the MAC now but \\192.168.xxx.xxx and using the MAC's login credentials. Short term work around is I did map the network drive for access, so I can move files to the MAC from the PC. My question is WHY can't I get the MAC to show up under the network ? Also I included a CrystaldiskMark test showing transfer from PC to MAC followed by my m.2/usb drive in case anyone was curious. (my previous method of transfer) While slower the benefits are being able to save to the MAC destination over the network upon file creation/download. No need to access rear i/o of the MAC to transfer data in; this was difficult due to mounting location behind monitor. Keep trying to sign this stupid screen but it wont work...

Posted March 19, 2022 Windows is running SMB even if you dont share anything and hence why your Windows PC shows up on your mac.

I believe I went through the correct steps to enable smb on the MAC; including allowing the correct user/profiles and renaming the workgroup. I believe.

Make sure you have same workgroup and wins on the Mac as your windows machine. mY sYsTeM iS Not pErfoRmInG aS gOOd As I sAW oN yOuTuBe.

This is most likely the missing step that's preventing Windows from discovering it automatically. You'll want to make sure network discovery is enabled on the Windows side, too. https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/share-mac-files-with-windows-users-mchlp1657/12.0/mac/12.0 I sold my soul for ProSupport.

Posted March 19, 2022 I find it's often easier to just set up a FTP server on the Windows computer, and use any ftp client to connect to it. Filezilla FTP server is free, can be set up in minutes and you can forget it open in the background on a random port then on the other computer you can connect to your ftp server and transfer multiple files simultaneously if you wish, and saturate the network connection. Resume can be a massive bonus sometimes ... and ftp offers that for free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 19, 2022 FTP is a pain for common use since no random access. SMB works like a normal drive, FTP is only usable for transfers and much less convenient...

Posted March 19, 2022 You rarely need random access when transferring files between computers... you basically dump a bunch of files, drag and drop to destination and forget about it, leave the transfer running in background. I agree SMB may be better if you need to run/play directly from the remote location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
