32 Chapter 2 Getting to Know Your Mac mini
Transferring Files to Another Computer
You have several ways to transfer files or documents to or from your Mac mini.
ÂYou can easily transfer files using Setup Assistant. For more information, see
“Transferring Information to Your Mac mini” on page 17.
ÂYou can transfer files via the Internet using .Mac or another Internet account. Go to
www.mac.com for more information.
ÂIf your Mac mini is connected to an Ethernet network, you can transfer files to
another computer on the network. To access another computer or server, open a
Finder window and click Network. Or, if you know the name or network address of
the computer, choose Go > Connect to Server from the Finder menu bar.
ÂYou can create a small Ethernet network by connecting an Ethernet cable from your
Mac mini to another computer’s Ethernet (G) port. For more information, open
Mac Help and search for “connecting two computers.”
ÂYou can connect to another Mac using a FireWire cable. Your Mac mini appears
as a disk drive on the other computer (or vice versa) and you can transfer files.
For information about using FireWire to transfer files, open Mac Help and search for
“transferring files with FireWire.”
ÂYou can connect to an AirPort wireless network. For more information, see
“Understanding AirPort Extreme Wireless Networking” on page 45.
For more information about transferring files and documents, open Mac Help and
search for “transferring files” or for the type of connection you need.
