Transferring Files to Another Computer

If you want to transfer files or documents to or from your PowerBook, there are several ways of doing it.

•You can transfer files via the Internet using .Mac or another Internet account.

•You can transfer files to another computer on a network. You can access another server or computer by clicking Network in the Finder Sidebar, or by choosing Go > Connect to Server from the Finder menu bar.

•You can create a small Ethernet network by connecting an Ethernet cable from your PowerBook to another computer’s Ethernet port. For more information, open Mac OS Help and search for “connecting two computers.”

•You can also connect to another Mac using a FireWire cable. Your PowerBook appears as a disk drive on the other computer and you can transfer files. For information about using FireWire to transfer files, see “FireWire Target Disk Mode” on page 35.

•You can connect to an AirPort Extreme 802.11g or 802.11b wireless network to transfer files. For more information, see “AirPort Extreme Wireless Networking and Internet Access” on page 38.
