I've got it recognizing my 4 computers, (macs).

How do I drag files from the hard drive of one mac to another?

Do I have to Login into the network and just drag those files (comp A) to the network icon, (comp B).


This seems like a pain bevause then I have to re-drag the files to the correct back up drive (another drive in comp B).

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure about remote desktop, but if you want to transfer files cant you just go to network in finder and click on the computer you want?

You bought remote desktop to transfer files???
Turn on Personal File Sharing and use APPLE K to connect to
your other machines.

since we're on the subject, is there any way to share an external firewire hard-drive through personal file sharing? as far as i can tell, you can only share from the user's "home"
