Network connection
To move files by connecting your Mac to your PC on the same network:
- Make sure that both computers are turned on and connected to the Internet.
- In the Finder on your Mac, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu to open the window.
- Type your PC's network address in the Server Address text box using this format: smb://ServerName/ShareName, or select the name of your PC in this window (if it appears).
- Click Connect.
- Enter
your PC's workgroup name, your user name, and your password when
prompted, then select the volume or folder you wish to access.
- Your PC volume should appear on your Mac Desktop.
- Open the volume and drag and drop files directly from it to anywhere on your Mac.
- When finished, drag your PC volume to the Trash to unmount it.
For easier moving, you might want to consider Move2Mac,
a third-party application that makes the moving process easier. Not
only will it move files from your PC to your Mac, it also transfers
other items such as your email account settings and address book,
Internet Explorer bookmarks, desktop backgrounds, dial-up Internet
settings, and more.
